This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this receiver drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C refrigerant. These contaminants cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the drier during service is essential.
Does the 83057 come with installation hardware?
Yes. It's supplied as a cartridge kit with a plug, and the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal are included for the installation.
When should I replace the drier?
Replacement is typically required to validate a compressor warranty and any time the A/C system is opened or serviced, since a saturated desiccant can no longer absorb moisture.
Which vehicles does this fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many BMW models, including 525i, 530i, 550i, 745i/745Li, 750i/750Li, 760Li, Alpina B7, M5, and M6. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Why does the desiccant matter?
The desiccant absorbs moisture in the system. A leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant within a few hours, making the drier ineffective.
