Just splashed the big bucks to join the forum and helped a buddy replace his blower motor on his 2005 x5 ... dash out job took 5 1/2 hours.

Most everything works except the signal (left/right turn) not working likely due to removing the steering wheel and missing something on the way back in...

Some really good tech tips on this forum.

I've done a ton of work on my 2010 X3... chasing oil leaks, coolant hoses blowing up, crack in coolant reservoir... N52 not my favorite inline six....
