Does anyone have a problem where the A/C compressor the snow flake button turns off by itself. It turns off itself some times. Sometimes when i start it its not on eithe and i dont realize untill i start to sweat. I think it has something to do with Max A/C possibly. If i turn the car off while its in Max A/C the next time i start the snowflake is off. Just speculation, i never remember how i leave it or how it turns itself off. Any Ideas???

I think when you have an individual program for the climate in the iDrive it shut down the snowfling.

[/quote]Isn't it better to leave it on all the time anyway? That's why mercs have an EC (economy) button - which turns OFF the AC.
Mine seems to stay wherevert I leave it - no problems there... but there is a bit of a smell when the car first starts.

We don't have to use a/c much in the UK. We use the wipers a lot though

If you turn of the AC (the snowflake button is off) then you are on EC (economy).
Smart BMW people, we do not need extra button for everything
