OEX Air Conditioning Condenser Parallel Flow 20MM Pad Inlet/outlet - CNX695

The OEX air conditioning condenser, part number CNX695, is a parallel flow condenser with pad inlet and pad outlet fittings. It is listed as a 20mm thick unit and supplied as each, with a one year warranty. For buyers matching an existing condenser, the key identifiers here are the parallel flow design, the 500mm length, the 424mm height, and the pad style fittings.

Application guidance is provided for BMW 523i, 525i, 535i and 540i models across E28 and E39 references, covering 2.5L, 2.8L, 3.5L and 4.4L engines from 1995 through 04/2004. That broad vehicle note still needs careful checking against the actual vehicle and the existing condenser layout, because condenser fitment is determined by measurements, fitting style and application details as well as the vehicle badge.

This condenser weighs 3.46kg and sits in the air conditioning system as a cooling component, so matching dimensions and fittings is important before ordering. The listed pad inlet and pad outlet connections are a useful check point when comparing against the original unit, especially where the replacement needs to align with the factory pipe arrangement.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number CNX695, the pad inlet and pad outlet fittings, and the condenser size of 500mm by 424mm against the part already in the vehicle. Condensers can look similar from the outside, but a small difference in fitting style or core size can prevent a correct installation.

The 20mm thickness and 3.46kg weight are practical identification points when checking the replacement against the original component. If your vehicle uses a different mounting arrangement or pipe connection style, the condenser may not interchange even if the BMW model family appears similar.

For the listed BMW 523i, 525i, 535i and 540i applications, confirm the engine size and model range carefully, particularly where the vehicle sits within the E28 or E39 references and the date range runs from 1995 to 04/2004. Matching the vehicle badge alone is not enough; the existing condenser specification and part number remain the safest guide.

This part is supplied as each and carries a one year warranty. That warranty does not replace the need to verify fitment, so the recommended approach is to check the vehicle application, the original part number, and the physical measurements before purchase.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number CNX695 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number CNX695, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a air conditioning condenser in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include BMW 5, BMW 5 1983, BMW 5 1984, BMW 5 1985. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by checking part number CNX695, the pad inlet and pad outlet fittings, and the 500mm x 424mm dimensions against the original condenser and vehicle application details before ordering.
