need to replace my ac compressor

[doctorx]

i have e30 6/87 vert. My ac compressor seems to have ate itself. I am having a hard time finding the right compressor to replace. The sticker on the back of the compressor is APG. What is the compressor that replaces this?

Not sure what's out there for M20s in that production range, or which one suits APG, which sounds aftermarket/remanufactured, but you should be able to visually match the top fittings between your current one and a replacement. IIRC, there is a style with two separate bolt on pieces and a style with one bolt on plate where the lines go.

ok... thanks... that gives me something to go on.
