or if you have got the same problem.Thanks in advance.
Appears normal to me, it the car systems don't all switch down (go to sleep) the CC may stay off as you say. But once the car sleeps (about 15 mins) the next unlock and start up it will default to the CC being on.

Sounds as if it needs programming at the dealer, ('active', 'not active' options) if it can be done on the F30, like some previous generation cars.
