Anybody have changed his AirCon Kompressor in 545 or 550? In mine started to hear strange noise on idle.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Are you sure it's the compressor? It could just be the motor in the dashboard.

Yes, I am sure, the trtrtrttr noise came from engine compartment, when I take car up and take off the plastic under engine I hear it from Air Con Kompressor. I have used also sthetoscope to be sure The noise came only when idling. I heared that there where some problems with those kompresors in e60.

I have a 530 with the same issue. Only heard this weird sort of rattling coming from the front part of the engine at idle. Took 3 visits to BMW for them to be convinced it was the compressor. They replaced it finally.
