Anyone have AC issues, or 3 light blink on Ac button?

Friend 2015 E63 with 15K miles is having an ac issue, when he hits the AC button, the button blinks red 3 times and doesnt turn on.

Seems like he is low on AC charge or might have a leak.. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this?

Mine was diagnosed twice. 1st dealership stated low refrigerant... topped it up and I was good to go, well so they said. AC stopped working a few days later.

2nd dealer diagnosed a leak at the compressor. Replaced AC compressor and haven’t and any issues again.

This seems to be a fairly common issue on this car. Buddy had the exact thing happen to his as well.

I was told to turn on ac year round to keep compressor lubed no.loss of 134. Even in dead of winter a sunny day for 3 min is all thats needed.
