If I have the air turned on to 60 and then I turn it off while driving, then the system is not running. When I return to the car and start it up it goes back to being set at 60. Why is this not just set at what it was when I turned the truck off?

It remembers the last temperature, fan, and vent outlet settings. What it doesn't do is remember to be turned off. Essentially, that is because the vehicle is designed to have the AC on all the time. BMW designengineers wouldn't be able to understand why you would want it off. There isn't a separate vent system, so it works better being on. In summer it cools, in winter it drys out the air and reduces condensation. I do understand that some like the AC off, just like some like the windows down on the highway. In my case, I turn on the AC when I buy a new vehicle, and leave it on until I sell it. I use the temperature control settings, and if the system determines it doesn't need to run the compressor it doesn't do so.
