UPDATE! Possibly Fixed!
So after a very frustrating 3 hour round trip drive to a client meeting (in 95 degree heat) with no working A/C, I lost it and called my service adviser to insist that they figure something out. They took the car, gave me an x3, and started trying to reproduce the problem.
After about 2 weeks, they decided to replace the compressor. While they were never able to reproduce my observation where the A/C occasionally didn't work at all when starting the car, they did notice that the cold air temp at the vents was fluctuating by as much as 20 degrees while still operating. This was apparently enough to warrant a replacement of the compressor. I picked it up last week and just did a weekend trip to Boston spending about 11 enjoyable hours on the road with no issues... yet.
Fingers crossed! Hopefully this is the end of the road for this issue and I can go back to ABSOLUTELY LOVING this car!
