trhaverstock is on a distinguished road
I want to post my results on getting my AC fixed in hopes it will help someone else!

As the original poster, I had my AC to the mechanic after all unsuccessful attempts to resolve on my own and he wanted to replace $1200 in parts. I asked if he'd be willing to replace the $15 Control Valve (see post from X5StayinAlive at https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...-cold-air.html). He agreed and I ordered the valve. He had a bit of a hard time getting the old out but evacuated the system, installed the new control valve and I am happy to report my AC has been working GREAT for the past week. It ended up running me a little over $150 in labor and materials plus the Santech control valve. It was worth a $150 gamble to me to try the valve before replacing the compressor and other components. I could have done this myself if I had the equipment and knowledge on AC but didn't want to mess things up.

Huge thank you to X5StayinAlive for posting that fix!!!!
