Detailed Description

Nissens 890218 is an A/C compressor engineered for BMW HVAC systems that use R134A refrigerant and PAG 46 oil. The 7SBU17A compressor design and 4-groove pulley help match the original system layout on covered vehicles, including BMW 550i, 650i, M5, M6, X5, X6, 750i, 750Li, and related xDrive and Gran Coupe applications. This part number 890218 is built for direct replacement use where the original compressor has failed or is no longer maintaining proper system pressure.

Nissens develops thermal management components for aftermarket use with a focus on consistent manufacturing standards and application coverage. This compressor is listed for BMW 550i GT xDrive, BMW 650i Gran Coupe, BMW 650i xDrive Gran Coupe, and other select BMW V8 and performance models across the 2009-2019 model years.

This part cross-references UAC CO29066C and CO29118C for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Warm air from the vents when the A/C system is engaged
• Noisy or seized compressor operation
• Loss of refrigerant pressure in the HVAC system
• Inconsistent cabin cooling on BMW 550i, 650i, M5, M6, X5, and X6 applications
• Compressor replacement needs after internal wear or clutch-related failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify refrigerant type, pulley groove count, and compressor type before installation. This compressor is specified for R134A systems with PAG 46 oil. Confirm vehicle fitment by year, model, and build date where noted, especially for 2016 BMW applications with from/to 03/2016 coverage. Always inspect the system for contamination, leaks, and related HVAC faults before installing a replacement compressor.

Quality Assurance

Nissens positions this compressor within its Genuine Nissens Quality manufacturing standard, with ongoing product development for aftermarket thermal management applications. The pre-filled PAG oil and FIRST FIT configuration support a cleaner replacement process on the listed BMW fitments.
