Yours sounds different/more serious. If the compressor clutch is frozen in an engaged state, and the belt can't turn the pulley, would that cause a problem like that? I'm not the right guy to ask I'm afraid.
I wonder if the compressor weakness has anything to do with some of 340i owners experiencing screeching belt issues when shifting. Many of them reported the issue only happened when the A/C was on.
