I really don't want to go to a BMW dealer because it seems like nobody ever leaves there without a 2k less in their bank account than when they arrived.
^I just replaced a compressor in my mom's FX35 Infiniti for exactly the symptoms you are describing. It used to cool intermittently and continued to get worse and worse until finally no cooling at all. Low side was reading too high and high side was reading too low. Not sure what in the compressor failed... but it cools great now after replacement (along with Xpansion valve and receiver dryer).

How any miles are on your X? Original compressor?
