2002 BMW 318 mileage: 43,000. When I turn on my A/C, there is a strong vibration coming from the A/C compressor. It seems to go away at higher rpms. When I turn on the A/C, it takes about 1-2 minutes the compressor gets almost too hot to touch. The lines coming from the compressor are cold the car cools off just fine. I don't have a clue what could be wrong. I am currently not running the A/C for fear of tearing it up.

The vibration may be due to a loose belt that drives the A/C compressor. Check your belt tensioner if the seems ok your air conditioning compressor could be coming apart internally.
