Hi guys.

So my AC compressor is rattling. Figured to swap it out before it takes out the whole system.

I found out that the part is made by Denso. Can anyone confirm if the Denso part number is 10PA17C?

Real OEM shows my part number as 64528385917, and says it does not fit any other BMW. However, I've seen E36 and E39 AC compressors up for sale saying they fit E38 M60s. What's the deal here?

I live in a country where there are import restrictions, so I have to make do with the parts we have here. There are plenty of E36 and E39 parts but no E38 parts. Just wondering if another AC compressor would fit. Even from another brand.

I read that the Denso 10PA17C came on other brands. Will they fit?

Thank you!
