Hi Guys

Which after market brand would you recommend for fan clutch (radiator cooling fan clutch) and AC compressor for my 87 325I convertible?

Thanks

You need to look up the part numbers. Go to realoem to find your car and the part. Get the part number then google it. Also try ebay. Even the A/C compressor is available. That year had r12 in it. If you keep it as R12, you'll have to find R12 which is on Ebay but expensive. You also can convert to r134 - all kinds of ways to do that and a lot of different opinions. Here is the link to Realoem http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sele...ne=M20&trans=M

no idea on the mouldings for a vert. I normally just order little wear items like fan clutches on rockauto, though. they have name brand parts and off-brand for cheaper, if money is an issue. since I do all my own work, and my e30 is a spare car, I just get a lower cost part. I have never had to replace anything I have bought from rockauto so even there off brand parts last.

if you go to r134 you'll need new barrier type hard lines and a newer style condenser. the lines are insanely hard to get now, but can be fabricated by a decent shop, serious money tho. another option is find an 89 or later car and take those lines. the later cars had barrier lines, but still were on r12.

As for the hoses. I went to a local hydraulic hose shop with my old hoses. They replaced the rubber hose with barrier for $85, did it while I waited, in about 30 minutes!

I have bought window weather stripping from ECS Tuning for my 92 vert, not sure if the part numbers are the same for the 87. But here's a link to the rear window moldings I ordered for reference:

Haven't had to buy front window seals yet but i'd bet they have them. Just double check the part numbers as suggested above.
