My experience with my (purchased new) 04 4.4i and that of others here contradicts your statement.
I have recharged the AC system 3 times in the vehicle's lifetime, with my mechanic, using around 1 can of R134A each time. Each time, the symptom was that the right side vents were not cooling properly. Each time, it turned out that the system was low on refrigerant and the problem went away for a few years.
One thing my mechanic recommends is having someone in the vehicle revving the engine to approximate 3k while recharging the system. He is a master BMW mechanic (though retired from the dealership) so l follow his advice.
