Hi

i have F10 523 2011 and there is a problem in AC compressor and need to change it, but the new OEM compressor is too expensive, so which of these brands is better?
-Denso $415
-Nissens $335

Appreciate your help

Thank you

It's highly likely that Denso is the original manufacturer of the branded BMW compressor, at least that was the case with my previous Mercedes. If that's the case, you're basically getting the exact same part sans the BMW branding. If Denso isn't the original manufacturer, you'd still be getting the best compressor for the money.

In short, get the Denso.

Denso is good, most everything in Toyota is Denso
