06 530i
When I leave the office in the evening I turn on my air conditioner using the automatic mode. When I park my car in the garage after my drive home I turn the air conditioner off with the "off bottom" and get an orange light showing the system is off. When I start the car the next morning the air condition comes on automatically. The same is true if I use the vent system.
Is there a way to set the controls so when I turn the air conditioner or vents off they stay off until I want to turn them on.
Thank you

Nope sorry... this is somthing that we all have... its not a bug per say its a "feature" a lot of us dont like it. I dont like it but we have to deal with it till BMW decides to come out with new software that stops this from happenning... if they ever do.

since there is no permanent OFF button just make one of your own 
well instead of pushing the OFF button just move the middle button (vent speed) to the left to the lowest vent speed and than go home, the next time you will get in to the car the AC will be set as where you left it in the lowest vent speed - which is pretty close to OFF mode
