Ok I understand this is mostly a Florida issue right now but when the ambient temp is say 74F and you set the temp on 73F in auto mode on the A/C, the system is not engaging the compressor. This is a problem because the sun is cooking the passengers and the humidity provides additional discomfort. The only surefire way to get it to run the compressor is to hit Max AC button and then the compressor will run at all temp settings.
I know the BMW AC has generally sucked in the dozen or so new BMWs we've owned but is this something BMW did on purpose or another of the endless bugs in iDrive 7? |

Check the Menu AC button in the middle, turns the compressor on and off, it will come on in auto mode when I’d rather it not, that’s how I turn it off?

Haven’t had a car with a separate “AC” button in a while. In any case, the button has the “Menu” above the “AC” - my brain saw “AC Menu”, i.e. a button which just accesses the menu for the AC rather than a rocker.

Ha! Yeah - I agree with you. I had a Honda long ago that had the “AC” button as well. It’s actually kind of nice to have again.
