Purpose and Compatibility

The Clima Compressor BMW E81 E87 E90 E91 LCI A/C Air Conditioning Con Unit has been designed as part of the original air conditioning system in selected facelifted (LCI) BMW 1 and 3 Series models. The compressor's construction is adapted to the factory mounting points, lines, and electronic control used in these generations.

Original origin from the BMW Group means maintaining proper operating parameters, such as refrigerant compression efficiency, engine load characteristics, and compatibility with the factory climate control unit and pressure sensors.

Construction and Role in the Air Conditioning System

The air conditioning compressor is responsible for the circulation and compression of refrigerant throughout the A/C system. In conjunction with the condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, and receiver-drier, it forms a closed loop that ensures stable cooling of the vehicle's interior.

• Precise Fit to the Drivetrain – the compressor works with the BMW engine's factory belt drive, which limits the risk of vibrations and excessive load.
• Correct Operating Characteristics – the compressor is adapted to the parameters of engines used in the E81, E87, E90, and E91 LCI, which facilitates maintaining a stable cabin temperature.
• Integration with Vehicle Electronics – designed to work with the factory climate control system, including pressure and temperature sensors.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Compressor

Choosing a used, original BMW air conditioning compressor is a solution that combines technical repair correctness with reasonable service costs. Compared to low-quality aftermarket alternatives, an OEM part ensures:

• Factory Fitment – no need for modifications to mounting points, lines, or the electrical system.
• Consistent Operation with the Control System – maintaining the compressor engagement and disengagement parameters as intended by the manufacturer.
• Stable Cabin Cooling – proper A/C system performance under typical operating conditions.

Therefore, an air conditioning compressor from this reference is a good choice for both a standard replacement of a worn-out part and for a comprehensive overhaul of the air conditioning system in a BMW 1 or 3 Series.

Condition and Installation Recommendations

The offered compressor comes from the category of used BMW parts. Before installation, standard service procedures typical for air conditioning systems are recommended: checking system tightness, assessing the condition of the condenser, evaporator, and receiver-drier, and replacing the refrigerant according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.

To ensure long-term and trouble-free operation, it is advisable to entrust the installation to a specialized service center that has the appropriate equipment for A/C system servicing and experience working with BMW E81, E87, E90, and E91 LCI models.
