Installation Notes

Replace the receiver drier whenever the A/C system has been opened for major service, compressor replacement, or contamination cleanup. Verify the mounting location, line connections, and system specifications before installation. After installation, evacuate and recharge the system according to BMW service procedures to help restore proper HVAC operation.
