Sorry for bringing old post up.

Those who replaced the compressor, do you have a problem on fitting the new one?

I bought Behr replacement compressor but somehow my mechanic was not able to fit that one to my car. I do see some differences, but since I was unable to go under the car so I don't know what exactly happened.

FYI, the replacement behr unit was 8FK 351 340-921 as per below pic





the old one in the car is bmw part 64 50 9 121 760 that looks like below
BMW-53-CSE717C-PV4-REMAN - YouTube

there is noticable difference on the back (half cylinder orientation) and top side (top front face on behr is rectangle while the old one is at an angle).

Apart from that differences, based on ruler measurement i do feel the mounting holes does located exactly as the old one.

The back alumunium holder piece do have groove aligned with the back of old compressor where the raised cylinder was toward 7 o'clock (in contrast to the behr where it raised toward 4 o'clock position).

any idea?
