Warm central tunnel?
During my virgin trip in my brand new M235i I noticed that the central tunnel (just behind and below the central console armrest, at the side wall between it and the driver's seat) feels warm when touched. Not hot - just warm. Considering the external temperature just around 10 C, and my rather mitigated driving style in the break-in period - is it normal?
Never felt any local "patches" of high temperature in my F10 (also 8AT); would it just be the difference in cabin insulation? Or should I visit the service to check the AT in my new M235i?

Interesting theory - must verify it... Anyone else can confirm there is nothing to worry about?
