Hey guys, My dads 540i's compressor clutch took a **** the other day. We thought the valve train was shot, but turns out, the compressor clutch was burning up and smelled like burnt plastic and clutch. When we were looking, the clutch was trying to turn (was turning extremely slow) then nothing at all. The funny thing is that the a/c button wasn't even on!

What I am wondering is does anyone know where you can find a new clutch for it? He didn't really want to spend 300 bucks for a new compressor if only the clutch has failed. Rock auto had one, but they ended up calling him and cancelling the order because they can't get it. Why they listed it and then turns out they can't get it is beyond me but anyways. I called bma they cant get one, neither can autohaus and pelican parts doesn't list it. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch guys.
