Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier P/N:33564
Keep your air conditioning clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier, part number 33433. This steel filter drier drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of 1982-1989 BMW models, including the 528E (1982-1988), 533i (1983-1984), 535i (1985-1988), 635CSI (1985-1989), M5 (1988), and M6 (1987-1988) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
The receiver drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system that flushing alone cannot clear, which is why replacing it is essential whenever the system is opened. A desiccant bag inside absorbs system moisture; a leaking or open system can saturate that bag within hours and leave the drier ineffective.
Replacing the filter drier is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is serviced.
