How to: Drain + Recharge your BMW A/C for CHEAP (Simple!)

Today, I teach you a very basic method of vacuuming and then recharging your A/C system at home on your BMW! We used my E91 335i wagon, but the procedure is exactly the same for all other models, except for the amount of Freon that is added to the system.

All you need is some basic tools from Amazon, and refrigerant you can get from the local auto store, and you'll be saving hundreds of dollars when you have to recharge your A/C system! This method does still require that you go to a shop for them to "drain" the system prior to you servicing it, but makes the most economical and environmental sense.

Below I have links to all the tools we used, so you can replicate this job at home!
