AC Compressor lines
 
We have a S52 engine from a M Coupe and the AC compressor is still bolted onto the side of the engine. The 318ti AC lines from the compressor to the firewall are too short and we also noticed that the M Coupe AC compressor is smaller than an E36 M3 compressor.

To those running the smaller AC Compressor or a compressor from a M Coupe/Roadster, did you end up using the E36 M3 AC lines or AC lines from the M Coupe/Roadster?

If we can't find the right lines we might end up using an E36 M3 compressor and compressor bracket.

I think that the M3 AC lines are the way to go.

Neither work. The lines are the correct length, but the diameter of the hose entering the firewall will be too big to fit.

325i line works great.

So you highly recommend using 325i AC lines to the compressor which is from an E36 323/328, Z3 2.8, M Coupe/Roadster?
