4.0 Air Conditioner Refrigeration/Oil Fill Capacities: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 265 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW X5, 2006 BMW X3, 2006 BMW M6, and 2006 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Reference information for servicing BMW Air Conditioning systems is listed in AIR CONDITIONER REFRIGERATION/OIL FILL CAPACITIES . Please refer to this chart when evacuating/recharging BMW A/C systems.

Note that some 1993 Model Year early production R-134a equipped vehicles have under-hood labels that specify higher charge values than those specified in the chart. Testing has confirmed that the values given are the optimum fill capacities. Consult the chart before refilling. Labels with the lower refrigerant charge amount specified on the chart have been phased into production as of 11/92.

When performing repairs to the A/C system that require recharging, only the specifications given in this chart should be used, as well as the label part numbers, as appropriate (see chart). However, inadvertent refrigerant charging up to the fill capacity given on an " original" ('93 MY production prior to 11/92) under-hood label will not cause any problems.
