I find some of the HVAC controls annoying as well. I would prefer a temperature wheel instead of up/down buttons, but it doesn't bother me all that much.

Your comment about the flow control wheel now in iDrive — if it's what I think you're talking about, you can press fan up/down while in AUTO mode and it adjusts the flow intensity, and there's a readout between the vents showing the intensity. It took me a while to figure this out and it's not really covered well in the manual.

As for the buttons, the new 8 series and X7 have almost identical buttons and layout to the X5, so it looks like it's becoming the new standard for BMW.
