Thanks again.

I have my new drier and compressor ready to go in because of the clutch ate up the end of the compressor. I figure it is a good time to convert. Anyway, I have everthing ready to go in, but I re-read the e34.net procedure and it say to replace the switch. Why replace the switch? Oh yes, and do you recommend ester or PAG?
Thanks

I usually use ester.

The thing you may want to do is buy BMW's retrofit kit that includes new drier, pressure switches and retro fittings. Cost you about $140.00 but worth it.
