Ever figure out the reasoning tintman? Mine was working and 30 min into drive I noticed it was ambient air coming in... Compressor still turns on but no cold air. Hoping its not the condenser.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread.

My 2011 R56 is lowered with H&R Streets by 1.5 inches on the front and inspection shows signs of rubbing on the a/c line. It doesn't look bad; the spot just looks polished. I'm guessing the line only makes contact with the axle during suspension compression and hard left turns. I raised the suspension a bit to give it some clearance.

My question is will a layer of aluminum tape provide some protection from wear caused by occasional contact with the axle?

I think Im running into this issue as well. I have a clunking noise from the right front, but everything seemed tight when I checked. I will have to inspect the AC line this weekend.

I had a few scratches on my AC, also the plastic clip that held the line, it attaches to the block and it was actuall broken off. So I guess some sort of impact jarred the line enough to break that screw which held it in place.

I tried looking at RealOEM, but the diagrams look the same for both an 07 and a 13.

I ziptied the line out of the way, but then realized that the point at which we are all ziptying from is on the body. I am worried that tying it to the body when the engine rocks will cause some issues.
