Just updated my 89 E30 AC to R134 and I tried to use the original R22 hoses but after closing the hood it destroyed the high pressure coupler. BMW now offers a new hose same part number as the old (64-53-8-391-040 ) but for R134A and it went in without issues and eliminates the hood closing issues of the original hose. Attached are pictures of the old and new.
