Just got off the phone with the tech working on my car and he was concerned when he pulled the compressor off my X5M and it had the same part number as the replacement compressor that BMW sent as a replacement so he reached out the regional rep and this is what he was told.
The part number is the same but the "index" number is different confirming that internally something was updated. My tech confirmed that when he had the new/old side by side my old compressor had the same part number but at the end there was a dash "01" on it while the new replacement one has "02" on it instead. I should have my car back this Wednesday so I'll know more then.
