Fresh Air?
I've searched but couldn't find...
How do I get just fresh air from outside to vent through into the cabin without the fan being on?
06 530i, maybe i'm missing something simple-
I figured it out, they're called windows!! seriously though, does it not have that feature?

This is what I was referring to. To my knowledge, with the fan off the system shuts off. It did in my 02 325iT and my 08 535i but it was rare that I bothered. I just used the re-circulate button manually to block outside smells, etc.
From the 06 manual:
Switching off automatic climate control
The air volume, the heater and the
cooling function are all switched
off.
You can restart the automatic climate
control by pressing any of its buttons
cooling function are all switched
off.
You can restart the automatic climate
control by pressing any of its buttons
except the REST button.
