I no longer have to use auto mode either, just been using recirc but will try it w/o as a test next time I take out the car. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the issue being reported is just a software glitch.
Your thoughts about builds dates is a good one and that's why I encourage members on all the auto forums I belong do always list their production dates in their sigs.

Re-circulation aka Max A/C makes sense if there is an issue with the HVAC door(s) not functioning properly as that will close them and just recirculate the cabin air. So definitely a good test to see if that solves the problem as if so it points back to the HVAC door(s) or software that controls them.
I should have clarified in my "band-aid" statement that on my wife's X5 it just helps get the cabin to a cooled temperature in the summer months in about 10 minutes (seriously that is a lifetime in a 110+ degrees) and once done we'd disengage it and everything worked fine from that point on. My point being if I have to do that in the M850i with its tiny cabin area vs the X5 I'd be majorly disappointed.
