my aircon, in my 4 year old mini, was gurgling for ages, then the aircon light flashed whenever I tried to put it on and it would not come on.
I took it to a garage, not BMW, can't afford their prices, they said it would be £50 for a standard refill or £100 for a refill with dye, so they can check for leaks. I presumed there was a leak, i always think the worst where my mini is concerned, so went for the most expensive dye check, the air con has been fine ever since, wished I hadn't bothered with the more expensive option.
If your car is getting on a bit I would just presume the gas has run out and get it filled for cheap.
