Actually i did read it and we figured out those settings in our 2006 5 series after reading the instructions in our manual the first week of ownership.
For the E70 Under the Air distribution, manual on page 103 it explains clearly that "you can route the airflow out into the vehicle interior with various programs and those programs are listed for both driver and passenger. I guess using the rotating button on my X5 led me to recognize that it was the same operation only done electronically via iDrive on our 5 series.
Maybe that why we never ran into the problem as described. We did notice that some minor adjustments were required to optimize climate control for driver and passenger. But again the E60 manual helped in this regard as well.
As far as the system doing crazy things, i'm not surprised by that and i hope that part get's fixed asap. Kepp us posted regarding the outcome.

"What's the problem?" here ya go:
When the rear AC is turned on, the front ac loses 50% of its airflow. Also the system acts as if its possessed. The airflow just changes randomly...turns warm, air stops flowing from side vents, flow surges, blower volume is at least 200% louder, etc.. I have to lower the auto setting 9 degrees to stay somewhat cool.
As long as I keep the rear air turned off the system works great. I can set the auto at 78 degrees and I stay cold...but as soon as I turn on the rear air the ac is a POS! and the cabin does not STAY cool.
mine is at the dealer now for this issue.
