• proper cooperation with the expansion valve and evaporator, leading to uniform interior cooling,
• compatibility with the factory air conditioning control (manual or automatic, depending on vehicle equipment),
• adequate performance under high thermal loads, typical for city and highway driving.

As an OEM component from the BMW range, the compressor is designed for proper lubrication, heat dissipation, and compatibility with dedicated air conditioning system oil, which contributes to the longevity of the entire system.
