Hey Gang

As the title mentions I am a newbie to the forum and the E60. I picked up a really clean 2005 545i last weekend and life is good. I have my first question (I'm sure many more are to come) When I start the car the heating/cooling system turns on automatically. This is strange to me because I always turn it off prior to turning the car off after last use. It doesn't happen all of the time but probably 80% of the time. Am I missing something... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
