I'm not sure what you mean when you say,
"the best thing to do is to get it set right"!

On the E-53 theres that dreaded wheel on the dashboard
with those red and blue dots that you can adjust.

Fooling with that wheel makes the options questionable
and the end result make any setting you choose
not quite right.

The e60 has an electronic equivalent of a wheel as well.
Just too many options IMHO.

AC Delco systems in earlier Cadillacs were "TRUE"
automatic climate controls. Set and forget it meant
exactly what it said. No matter what the outside temperature
it would automatically keep the cabin at the temperature
you choose period.

Cadillacs still function the same way today and I agree I
don't see why BMW's system needs to be as complicated
as it is. Why do I need to work so hard to get it right.
