    You need to locate the low pressure side of the a/c system, the refrigerant recharge kits that you get at any auto parts stores have the refrigerant can with a hose and pressure gauge fitted to the can. There are instructions on the can but look at Youtube videos "look for recharge air conditioning" some good clips watch a few of them some good tips.

    Actually I meant the ports. I looked all in vain. Am wondering whether the ports for these 535i in hidden in a box somewhere under the hood. May be I need diagrams. Tried U-tube but only M3's.
