I have the same issue. The a/c line that goes to the firewall, specifically the one closest to driver's side, does not match up.
The a/c line is from a 97 M3, and of course the 2 orifice a/c firewall "receptacle" is from the ti.
I tried using the ti a/c lines. It obviously matches right up to the firewall, but it does not match up to the a/c compressor from the S52.
I was thinking of taking both ti and M3 a/c lines to an a/c shop and maybe they can do some welding/fabrication to swap the compressor side connections.
