BMW E30 Sanden Conversion Kit
*Note: If you are shipping to California, you will have to pay an additional sales tax. This tax will be collected after the purchase.
Designed and engineered for the enthusiast, this conversion kit offers a complete, plug-and-play upgrade to the A/C system in the E30 to R134a using a modern Sanden compressor, Nissens parallel flow condenser, R134a expansion valve, new R134a lines (inside and out), and all the necessary supporting bracketry. This upgrade will result in colder A/C vent temperatures, less strain on the engine, and a more efficient and durable A/C system.
Note: Cars fitted with fuel coolers will have to be capped and removed.
Coming soon - 325ix, M3, and 24v swaps!
