Huh? In the morning if its cold I put the heat on which requires me turning up the temp to say 75. I have to press both the left and right side temp up buttons. If its hot and I want a/c I turn down the temp to say 65.

There are a few things that drive me nuts about our ol'X...
having to "double finger", (actually right thumb and middle finger), the two temps to roll them up or down, is not one of those things. It's cake, even for an old guy with diminished eye-hand coordination... Don't know of any way to set it as "one". GL,mD

I kind of wish it did too, my VW Touareg had dual climate control rotary knobs and you could 'lock' them so that both zones adjusted from one of the rotary knobs.
It's a minor annoyance to have to push both buttons on the X5. I like how the new X5 and our E90 have rotary knobs for temp rather than the buttons. Just a little easier to adjust them. Ah, what ya gonna do...

As to having to move both controls, why would you have to do that unless you were sitting on both sides. If you leave the passenger one alone, the driver side control would be the only one you need to move. If you are adjusting it on behalf of your passenger, then I understand, but you could always teach the passenger how to do it themselves.

JCL- Just to clarify, do you leave the a/c button on all the time when using auto mode?

With each of my last five BMWs, I have spent a few minutes to set up the climate control when I pick up a new car. I occasionally hit the defrost button for a few minutes, and then hit it again to return to auto, but apart from that I generally don't ever touch the AC controls. If it is hot out I tend to run the cabin one degree cooler, 19 C, and then go back to 20 C when the ambient temperature drops, but that only a few times per year that it needs adjustment.

Or maybe I personally just have a very consistent sense of what temperature I want the car to be, I'm not sure. I do know that while I like 19, my wife likes 21 on the passenger side, and the car seems to be able to deal with that just fine.
