I guess I'm just not used to leaving it on all the time, since my previous BMWs never had an AUTO mode and I always felt it was sapping power and MPG from the car.
I think you can just turn AC right off after pressing auto, keeping auto on.

I'll have to test that later today, because it's been a while since I've tried that, I just leave auto on with a/c all the time, and while I guess it could be shaving off mpg and power, I'm always rather comfortable.
