Built by one of the world's largest OE suppliers of A/C compressors, the DENSO A/C Compressor 471-1121 is a new compressor with clutch that compresses and circulates R134A refrigerant through your air-conditioning system. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2003 BMW 540i, 2000-2003 BMW M5 and 2000-2003 BMW Z8, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

DENSO compressors are original equipment on 45% of vehicles in the North American market. Before release, DENSO First Time Fit compressors go through the company's strict risk-control development process and are built and tested to strict OE standards. The goal is the right part and the right fit the first time, which helps you avoid a costly re-installation.

  • New with clutch: a factory-new compressor supplied with its clutch. The clutch maximum diameter is 110.0 mm.
  • Refrigerant: specified for R134A systems.
  • Drive and mounting: the pulley runs on a serpentine belt, and the unit uses a bolt tangent mounting type.
  • Quantity: the listed applications use one compressor. Country of origin: United States.

Signs that a compressor may need replacing include warm air from the vents, noise when the A/C is switched on, a clutch that will not engage, or oil leaking at the compressor. If a failed compressor is the cause, the 471-1121 replaces it.
