Hard to tell above if people are talking about the air conditioner (for which there is a separate "snowflake" button on US cars) or the whole system. The system defaults to "on". The a/c button defaults to last use; in my experience it may take a couple of cycles to "teach" the car (this is keyed to the specific key fob) to change the default. You can read about this in the friendly manual.
Of course, BMW includes a button to turn the a/c off, then someone acting in their name tells you you must never do that. Who you gonna believe, some goniff in a car dealership, or the button? I prefer to leave it on, as a dehumidifier in cooler temps, and of course you should run it periodically to keep the seals in the system from drying out or cracking, but the switch is there for a purpose.
