You can manually control the air distribution with this button.

I'm aware. But that turns off automatic mode.

Hmmm, I thought it would still control the temperature and fan.

I guess not.

To switch off the program: press the button again or manually adjust the air distribution.

Just watched a long youtube review of the 5-door, and noted two things:

1) it appears you can sync L+R climate controls now.

2) the seat levers look completely redesigned.

Can any 2015 owners of either 3- or 5-door models confirm #1?

I think the intensity dial will let you adjust fan speed while in Auto mode.

Haven't tried it yet as the weather is too moderate.

Hmmm He mentions syncing the climate control but doesn't show you how. The controls look identical to mine.

It's possible he was mistaken, so that's why I asked 2015ers if it's true. I hadn't realized they did a redesign of the seat levers (for the better), but having had a 2005 MC, I know that BMW doesn't wait a whole model year to tweak things. My 2005's March Build had better dash structure than prior months', for example.
