Got my condenser off the shelf from BMW, not too expensive £214, but you will need to change the drier too and that will be expensive from BMW got one from Autodoc for £44 (BMW wanted close to £300 for the drier??) had it all installed by the BMW Indy in Gloucester and its been ice cold for the past year.

Why will I need a drier, as I have a hole in my condenser - from a stone hitting it.
If the system has become open to the air (as in holed and discharged) then the drier will become saturated and wont remove moisture from the system correctly once its repaired and recharged any decent AC specialist should advise you of this too.
