Product Overview

The AC compressor, OEM number 64529185142, is fitted to the BMW X5, E70 chassis, 3.0L engine variants including the xDrive30i, model years 2006-2013. This compressor is distinct from the 4.8L version used on the same chassis (64529185144), so it's worth stocking both separately given the different engine variants share the same generation of X5.

Worn or failing units typically show up as reduced or no AC cooling, unusual noise from the compressor when the AC is engaged, or a compressor that fails to cycle at all. GSK Auto manufactures this compressor to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

(Confirm against your VIN or chassis code before ordering - BMW switched between part numbers on this application over the production run, and this compressor is not for models equipped with Adaptive Drive or 4-Zone Climate Control, so it's worth having your customer confirm their exact configuration with their VIN before ordering.)

What Is an AC Compressor?

Function: The AC compressor pressurizes refrigerant gas, turning it from low-pressure vapor into high-pressure gas that then flows to the condenser to release heat and be converted back into a liquid.

Working Principle: Driven by the engine's serpentine belt, the compressor's internal mechanism compresses low-pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator into high-pressure gas, with a magnetic clutch engaging and disengaging the compressor as cooling demand requires.

Importance: The compressor is the core mechanical component of the AC system, and without it functioning correctly, no cooling cycle can take place regardless of the condition of other AC parts.

Common Failures & Signs: Internal wear or seizure causing reduced or no AC output. Unusual noise, such as grinding or whining, when the AC is engaged. Refrigerant leaks at the compressor shaft seal. Warm air from the vents despite the AC being set to cool.
