Air con works, just dont think it will have been gassed in a loooong time

Will BMW be able to do it? (Not a clue about Aircon, 1st car in near 7 years of driving that has had it..)

Dan,

Have a look at the fill ports on the pipework. If they have red & blue caps, then it's running r134a. If it still has old schrader (wheel valve) style valves, then it's still on r12.
