I agree. I dislike it when "auto" turns on the A/C as I too like "auto" to control fan speed and temp but not turn on a/c when it is cool enough outside. Funny thing is, when I hit auto on my 2010 X5, it DOES turn on the a/c, so I must have it set somehow it that way through iDrive.

Climate control is the one area that I am least satisfied. It seems to require too much fiddling to get it right. For example, you not only need to adjust the temperature using a knob (which is good), but you may need to use another button to call up the iDrive so you can adjust the "temperature" (from blue to red) and air flow on your side of the car. I find the old style manual adjustment wheel easier. I also find myslef manually adjusting fan speed to get it just right.
