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...

Of course you're not stupid....
The LCI AC is also in my mind a big mess, but even so apprehensible in the long run.

It comes on by default. BMW would have to reprogram the car to fix it. They won't. Auto on AC is one of the few things I dislike about the E60.

You'll get used to it, maybe even learn to appreciate it, I figure it's the small price you pay for not having to turn a key, now you just gotta turn the a/c dial

My AC doesnt turn on... only the fan does... which i'm ok with... i usually manually turn off the AC a few block before i get to my destination and when i shut down the car i turn the fan onto the lowest setting and the next day it returns with the same settings.

Correct, there was a misuse of the word a/c. It is the fans that come on, but comes on to the set air temp, which tends to be in the colder sides/all the way to the left in my e60.
