ive recently wanted to sort out my AC, around last year it stopped working, think the gas finished as the car was parked up for awhile. But think it still had the old gas, so i want to know, how to find out if it actually did have the old gas or its already been converted in which case i can just refill. But if it is the old one how do i go about sorting the issue out...

The conversion kit which was available from BMW, has now been discontinued... If its the kit below;

If it's been converted by bmw, they put a sticker on mine near the lines on the shock piller.

kit from Pelican parts, this may be what you are looking for

see note, R-12 to R-134a Kit, R12 to R134 Update Kit, w/ o-rings & seals, w/ connections, w/ Pag oil

The conversion kit is NLA but the O rings and pressure switch still are so just get a drier from ECP..

The charge ports on R12 are totally different to R134a, if you car has been converted it will have adapters on the ports, it will be pretty obvious to see.
