You guys have been so informative that I need to ask some more simple to you but not to me questions. First, all previous cars I have ever owned have grease fittings for front and rear suspension components. Can't see any for the 525i, 1995 like I have.
Second, what refrigerant is used in a/c? All my reading says R134 but I cannot locate the low side fitting to verify this.
Thanks again in advance for any assistance to these questions.

A/C uses R134 for sure, I think it does since ~1992.

what is grease fittings?
As for a/c, you need R134, and low side should be the one closer to the engine, see pic. The hose that you buy only fits to the low side only, since it has smaller diameter, so it's almost foolproof.

No grease fittings for awhile on BMWs. Just rubber and wear items.
