UPDATE:
After an hour that I posted this after getting that call from my SA at Southbay BMW, he called me back and said that he talked to his guy and told him to fill it up with freon and everything should be good to go. I was so surprised. Another surprise was, after picking up the car Saturday morning, I didn't even have to pay the $50 deductible. WOW!!! So I have no idea what made him change his mind.

I am not sure what BMW's standard operating procedure is when fixing A/C whether they fill it up when fixing it or just filling it up half ways but like I mentioned in my original post, I had the A/C fixed april of last year with the same thing...air blowing but not cold air...and they fixed it and I did see on the invoice that they filled it with freon. I can't recall how much though, have to look for the invoice.
