Quick question. I'm in store looking to buy socket set. The special bolts and the tensioner on the BMW. Are they just standard e sockets and star bits ?

It was the compressor.
Put it in the 528i compressor which was exactly the same.
Boom
I pulled a vacuum on it on it and it did the very same. Lost -30psi to zero in less then 15mins. But it took the Freon no problem and started cooling right away.
I will I’ll keep you posted on if it holds a charge, and I’m going to double check the gagues on another car with vacuum.
Thank you you for all your help. When I get settled after this I will put up a post with everything I learned.
