First I've heard of one this early, but it can happen in any car. Had it happen in Mazdas, Hondas and VWs in the past.

$3000+ is highway robbery. According to realoem, for my x35i I either have a Valeo or Denso evaporator, which ECS quotes either $144 or $166. The same could with the BMW stamp is around $400. So, they are quoting you $2600 for labor and AC evac services. True, R&R and evaporator coils requires some work and is not trivial.....but $3000+????? Time for an indy shop.....
