Original BMW Electric A/C Compressor for BMW i8 (2020)

For the 2020 BMW i8, the Original BMW electric A/C compressor, part number 64-52-9-496-108, builds the system pressure that moves refrigerant through the air conditioning. Without enough pressure, the refrigerant cannot properly cool the air headed into the cabin. An electric compressor is driven by its own electric motor rather than by an engine accessory belt. BMW names the part the electric a/c compressor, and this version has been in production since November 2018. It is sold as one complete compressor.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.
