[QUOTE="jeffphan, post: 317102, member: 3525"] That's not normal for A/C compressor to sound like that, but that's one of the classic problem affecting E39...sounds like whirring noise at first and will most likely get louder. Check the R134 charge level, make sure that the compressor is not overcharged. If noise still persists, that the reed valve inside the compressor is bad. I would just replace the compressor before it seizes up. Don't forget to replace the drier as well. Hasn't happen to mine yet, but I only have 50k miles in my 2002. [/QUOTE]
