whine with AC on at low speed

I've noticed that when I turn the AC on in my 2016 228x drive M Sport it vibrates the seat quite a bit. Its actually uncomfortable at a stoplight. The dealer said this is because of AC demands on a V4 N20 engine. I've also noticed that at low speeds/gears there is a low-grade whine/groan (especially when going uphill). When the AC is off this sound is completely gone.

Anyone else having issues with AC vibration/noise or thoughts as to if this is abnormal? thanks
