get the seals from bmw, they should be inexpensive. i find its hard to get aftermarket parts for bmw on this kind of thing. make sure you coat the new seals with pag oil when you install them.

Be aware the leak could be at the brazed fitting and not the o-ring, also, inspect the expansion valve for signs of corrosion, replace if any is present.
