How do you guys turn off your AC? On the Pre-LCI there a dedicated button on the climate control panel to turn it off.

turn it to the left ONCE. I was driving a loaner and it got pretty annoying but u can live with it

Yea, after it is on the very lowest setting you can turn it one more time to the left and it'll turn off. But you can't go from a higher setting and go straight to 'off'. If you just twist it all the way to the left it'll stay on the lowest setting, wait a couple seconds, then turn to the left again and it'll turn off.

I've never been in a pre-LCI so I'm used to it but I can see how this would get annoying.

Thanks for the answer guys

Yes, appreciate the info. I'm another guy that converted from pre-LCI climate controls as part of my CCC to CIC conversion.

Just to be crystal clear, we're taking about the center knob, right?

Thanks!

When you say turn off the AC, do you mean the fan or just the compressor? On my LCI, there is a button with a snow flake on it that will turn off the compressor if you're getting cold, but the fan stays on. If you want the fan off, it as the others have described, use the center knob and turn all the way counter clockwise...

+1 to kscarrol's description on my 2008 535i. As I recall, my 2003 325iT and my wife's MB C230 also turn off using the fan controls.

i think it is much easier than my old 2006 330i and 2001 X5 which neither of had and off button
