12327540 A/C Condenser Assembly for BMW 318 Series

This page presents the 12327540 A/C condenser assembly referenced for BMW 318 Series. AutoParts uses item code BM01009-016 to keep quotation, inspection and packing records traceable.

The condenser releases heat from high-pressure refrigerant before the liquid continues through the vehicle A/C circuit. Clean fins and unrestricted frontal airflow are central to this heat-transfer process.

Product Technical Specifications

Component: A/C condenser assembly

Primary OE reference: 12327540

Cross-reference numbers: 64531375205; 64538391509

Vehicle brand: BMW

Model reference: 318 Series

AutoParts SKU: BM01009-016

Supply position: Aftermarket wholesale replacement

A/C Heat-Rejection Function

Hot refrigerant gas enters the condenser, transfers energy through the tubes and fins, and changes state as airflow removes heat. Correct port geometry keeps the refrigerant path aligned with the original system.

Normal cooling depends on the complete system: condenser airflow, fan operation, compressor condition, refrigerant charge, clean lines and properly sealed connections must work together.

Compatibility Review Before Ordering

Start with 12327540, then compare the original unit from BMW 318 Series for overall dimensions, pipe connections, brackets and receiver-drier arrangement. Production changes can exist within the same model line.

Confirm the primary number and each usable cross-reference.

Match vehicle year, engine, market and production period.

Compare core width, height, thickness and overall frame size.

Check fittings, pipe angles, brackets and dryer configuration.

Review original-part photographs when application data is incomplete.

Professional Installation and System Protection

The old circuit should be checked for compressor debris or sealant contamination. A new condenser cannot correct an unresolved compressor, fan, airflow or refrigerant-charge fault.

Inspection and Export Preparation

Available pre-shipment checks can include visible fin condition, core squareness, bracket alignment, connection protection and carton integrity.

Ordering Specification Notes

When preparing a purchase specification for BMW 318 Series, record OE 12327540, SKU BM01009-016, the required core dimensions, fitting orientation and dryer arrangement on the same line item. This creates a usable reference for quotation review, incoming inspection and repeat ordering. If the vehicle data is incomplete, add photographs of the removed unit beside a ruler and include close views of both refrigerant connections.

Wholesale and Procurement Information

For wholesale pricing, provide 12327540, SKU BM01009-016, required quantity, destination country and preferred carton marking. Mixed cooling-system orders can be reviewed item by item.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I confirm 12327540 for BMW 318 Series?

Check the original label, VIN catalogue, core size, ports, brackets and dryer arrangement. A visual resemblance by itself is not enough.

Does this condenser include every A/C service part?

The pictured condenser is the product reference. Seals, refrigerant, hoses or other service parts should be confirmed separately before ordering.

Why should the A/C circuit be inspected before fitting?

Debris, compressor damage, restricted airflow or an incorrect refrigerant charge can damage a replacement or prevent normal cooling.

Can I order 12327540 as a sample?

Yes. Send SKU BM01009-016, destination and verification requirements so sample availability and packing can be reviewed.

What information is needed for wholesale pricing?

Provide quantity, destination, packaging preference and any labeling or inspection request together with 12327540.

Fitment notice: OE and model references support identification but do not replace VIN-based catalogue checks or comparison with the original condenser.

Function: Acts as the A/C system’s front heat exchanger for controlled refrigerant pressure and temperature.

Supply: Offered to replacement-parts buyers requiring traceable OE and SKU identification.

Fitment check: Use OE data together with original-part photographs; similar appearance alone is insufficient.

Quality note: Export preparation emphasizes clean fittings, protected fins and traceable labeling.
