I suspect that my evaporator has been leaking since the car was two years old. The dealer blamed the oily film on the inside of the windshield on off-gassing from the plastic interior parts. I think that it is the oil that is mixed with the FREON leaking from the evaporator.

The discounted price for the evaporator core for my 128i is $472.51 and they will probably want to replace the $137.66 expansion valve and $23.11 gaskets at the same time. Add the pump-down and refill and it will probably be a $2,000 job.
