Many manufacturers require the receiver drier be replaced any time the system is opened for service to help validate the compressor warranty. Backed by decades of mobile A/C experience from Four Seasons.
What does this receiver drier do?
It filters the A/C refrigerant, removing moisture and contaminants that circulate in the system — debris that cannot be cleared by flushing. Its desiccant bag absorbs moisture to help protect the system.
What comes in the kit?
The kit is a filter-drier desiccant bag assembly that includes a plug plus the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal for installation.
Why should I replace the drier when servicing the A/C?
Many compressor warranties require replacing the receiver drier any time the system is opened. A saturated desiccant bag can become ineffective within hours once the system is open or leaking.
Which vehicles does the 83077 fit?
It fits numerous BMW models such as the 2006 325i/330i, 2007-2011 328i, 2008-2013 128i, 2008-2011 135i, 2008-2013 M3, 2012-2015 X1 and 2009-2016 Z4. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Are the 328i and 328i xDrive the same fit?
They are listed as different vehicles with different year ranges: the 328i covers 2007-2011 and the 328i xDrive covers 2009-2011. Confirm your exact model in the Buyer's Guide.
