The a/c compressors in the e60-61's do not have a electrical clutch to cycle. They are a variable displacement compressor that is on all the time. When the IHKA calls for cooling, it sends a electrical signal to a solenoid, mounted in the compressor, to ramp up-down, based on need for cooling or dehumidification.
The displacement of the compressor changes continuously based on load.

Will the system begin to work if you go for a 20 minute ride and come on as the drive progresses. If so the solenoid valve is becoming sluggish.

Also Google your codes.

Ended up being a bad ihka module purchased one out of an 06 model and air conditioning works as it should now. Not sure what failed in the ihka module but all is well now
