Program it with the iDrive and save the settings, each key has it's own.

Ever heard about the manual?

Of course you're not stupid, but some cosy and slow reading of the manual might help you to understand the iDrive.

The LCI AC is also in my mind a big mess, but even so apprehensible in the long run.

Hope the MY '09 iDrive will get better.

I have my AC on all the time.

You can adjust the AC to be a freezer or a heather.

Take some time out and play with the iDrive...
