318ti groaring

Last year, when I noticed the whooping of my A/C on my 95 ti, I took 
it in to the dealership.  The advisor said BMW had issued a fix for 
this common problem, but the fix itself wasn't very effective.  I 
waited through the winter, and I returned to the dealership this 
spring when it started acting up again (read:  when I started using 
the A/C again).  The new fix was issued for the car.  It entaills a 
replacement of the expansion valve, which was great news--it meant a 
free A/C recharge.  This was done free of charge, and, according to 
the invoice, it took about three hours.  
  While the car is in there, check the black plastic strips on the 
sides of the door frames.  It's common for these to bubble or peel 
off, and the dealers will replace them.

Good luck,
