Heat dial
It should go further. Could be a bad bowden cable or something blocking the flap that blocks the heat.

Jack stands
I've seen all those posts about different jack pads and stands.
I don't think the E46 is any better. My Mini has those.
It all depends on the jack stands. You need a jackstand large enough on the top end.
None of my 6 stands are big enough. I normally put my stands under the frame somewhere. The rear at the subframe near the bushing.
Front at the LCA bushing. I would like a jack stand that has a flat bottom though.

Door panel
Pretty common for them to come off. US models are all electric. Can't help there.

Keys
There are regular keys and valet keys. Vanity key has limited functions.

Welcome.
