Purpose and Compatibility
The offered BMW air conditioning compressor is structurally adapted for BMW X5 E70 LCI, X6 E71, and 5 Series F10 and F11 vehicles with the N57 unit. The use of an original compressor ensures:
- correct refrigerant pressure throughout the air conditioning system,
- stable cooperation with the factory control unit and pressure sensors,
- compatibility with factory mountings and N57 engine accessories.
By maintaining the original geometry and operating parameters, the compressor does not require installation modifications or interference with the wiring harness, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of service errors.
Compressor Construction and Operating Characteristics
The compressor belongs to the group of high-precision manufactured components responsible for efficient refrigerant compression in the air conditioning system. The compressor's design is optimized for:
- even load distribution on the drive shaft and bearings,
- effective lubrication of moving parts,
- maintaining system tightness under varying engine operating conditions.
A correctly selected compressor reduces air conditioning performance drops at high external temperatures and supports maintaining thermal comfort inside the vehicle during city and highway driving.
Benefits of Using an Original BMW Compressor
Choosing an original used air conditioning compressor for BMW X5, X6, and 5 Series F10/F11 offers a range of practical benefits:
- Factory Fitment – maintaining the original air conditioning system operating characteristics and compatibility with other components.
- Vehicle Electronics Consistency – correct cooperation with control modules, without the need for software modifications.
- Repair Cost Optimization – a used OEM part allows for cost reduction while maintaining high manufacturing quality.
- Possibility of Using Interchangeable Numbers – facilitates part selection based on BMW service documentation.
For workshops and individual users, this means faster identification of the correct component and a lower risk of incompatibility during installation.
Condition, Verification, and Service Application
The offered BMW air conditioning compressor is a used part intended for reinstallation in a vehicle after a standard service procedure (system flushing, dryer replacement, refrigerant filling according to manufacturer's specifications). A used component of this type is particularly attractive in situations where:
- the compressor has seized and a comprehensive system repair is necessary,
- the air conditioning has lost efficiency due to mechanical damage to the compressor,
- an economical solution is sought while maintaining the original construction.
Before installation, it is recommended to verify the tightness of the entire system and check the correct operation of the clutch and control, in accordance with BMW procedures.
