It has definitely been more than +/- 5 degree change on all my bimmers, once you turn the face blower temp wheel.
In the winter, turning into max "blue/cold" range give you a blast of freezing outside air in your face, regardless of HVAC temp setting.
Basically, the dial is a simplified version of multi-level/multi-zone temperature controls you will find in a Rolls. But way simpler, and covers 99% of the needs.
Very helpful.

Not sure why so many don't like it...???

Most people like it, once the understand how it works (well described in the manual, that few read).
Few people don't understand how it works, so we share our experience on this forum. Then they get it.
And then there is an obligatory guy who just loves to hate stuff.
Pick a feature, wash-rinse-repeat.
