..and I seem to recall that the sunlight position sensor affects the force with which heated/cooled air is delivered to the driver & passengers.
Well it would if WE were designing the system, wouldn't it!

It's the only way to turn on adaptive headlights AFAIK.

Not that I want another iDrive setting, or knob position, but you don't need to keep them turned on all the time (or on auto). Once it's dark, A for Adaptive works without necessarily using the Auto on/off. OTOH, my wife tends to forget them in the A position, as they switch completely off with the key.

Do you think that "Adaptive" was chosen to describe the technology so that they could combine the switch position with "Automatic" and label both with "A"?

I wonder if the "A" thing carries through different languages?

Your dealer can adjust sensitivity of automatic light sensor, factory default is SENSETIVE it could be changed to NORMAL or VERY SENSITIVE but in all cases has to be done by BMW computer hooked to your car.
