Another advantage to recirculation is that it can help you cool the car faster by recirculating cooled air until the air conditioning is ready to cool maximally.

The X5 has it on its steering..It's very nice because it's allows you to make set recirculate quickly without taking hand off the steering wheel.

There is no air recirculation button on the steering wheel. There are two programable buttons that you can select from a few options and assign them to the two buttons. One of the options would be to assign a recirculation button, but you're not tied to it if you would like to use the button for something else, like the next audio option.
There are two buttons on the climate control center. One is an automatic mode for air recirculation. In auto mode, it will sense heavy exhaust, like diesel exhaust from a bus, and automatically close the outside vent and only circulate the air inside the cabin. When it senses the air is clean again, it will open up the outside vent allowing outside air to flow through the system. You can manually close the vent if you choose to with another button. When you switch on MAX for a/c or heat, it will also close the outside vent to heat or cool the air a little quicker. |

For those without iDrive, what is the other button, the "CD" button above the circulation button? Thanks.
