Discovered that the AC problem was caused by a blown fuse, which kept the auxiliary fan from running, which kept the AC from running. The BMW factory wiring diagram was wrong and said a different fuse powered the fan. After I figured that out I replaced the fuse for $3.50 and everything is working again. I also had to replace the passenger rear window regulator for $100.75 in parts (I tried URO this time).

While diagnosing a failed auxiliary fan, my engine control unit and immobilizer became misaligned, resulting in a tow to my local indy. It was only a $99 bill, and the tow was covered by insurance. First fail to start in 4 years of ownership, which is probably quite good.
