Detailed Description

The receiver drier is a key part of the vehicle air conditioning system, helping remove moisture and trap contaminants before they circulate through the compressor and expansion components. This Four Seasons Filter Drier unit uses an aluminum body with pad mount fittings and a non-replaceable desiccant design for BMW applications that call for this style of A/C receiver drier. If you are servicing a BMW X3, BMW Z4, or BMW 3 Series with a pad mount receiver drier, Four Seasons 83070 provides the correct style and dimensions for the application.

This part cross-references UAC RD4007C and Spectra Premium 0210040 for the same application.
