Every now and then when I start the car the A/C comes on. I turn it off and few minutes later it turns on by itself. Doesnt happen all the time, but I find it very strange. Any ideas???

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.

Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I've read somewhere that the system will turn itself on when it senses moisture.

I've had this same issue. I noticed a few times it would kick on when I went over a bump. I would also tap the area where the climate controls are and it would come on. Hmmmm.....
