Not that I know. In previous cars there was at least an option to sync the two zones, but for some silly reason they removed it from the current generation of cars.

I'm pretty sure the other two controls are fully mechanical (at least in previous models they were), so it'll be hard to sync them with anything. EDIT: it seems they've been digital for quite a few years.

Although I think there are too many temp controls, I must admit I kind of like that (typical BMW) feature, especially in winter, as it allows you to set the face level vents to be a little cooler than the rest of the car.

Or, do as my wife tends to do in the E46 when she drives to work in the morning: set them to ultra-toasty and use the vents as a hair dryer! (not kidding!)

Note that in the middle position it should blow the same temperature as the other vents.
