So as I and others have said over and over if it takes a long time to ever start cooling and then starts cooling and works flawless all day till you turn the car off and let it sit over night its the compressor that needs replacing 100% of the time. No if ands or buts on the X5's.
I would have to disagree with this statement. The fact that the high side does not develop the pressure needed for the refrigerant to work as designed will lead someone familiar with mobile AC system to conclude that the variable compressor is not working.
