Replacing blower motor assembly
 

Hey guys,
I'm pretty sure my blower motor is going out since its squeals like a pig any time the climate control is on. I'm going to pick up the Bentley manual since the whole dash has to come out. I was wondering if there is anything else I should replace while I have access? Should I replace any dash mounting hardware as well? I'd hate to break some clips and not order them before I start the project.

Any suggestions or input is appreciated!

I hear its a lot of parts, but fairly straight forward. Shouldn't be too many clips. Mostly screws.

Is it as bad as this?

Do you have any other pictures of this? i've been curious if there was any way to get this out by cutting into the side of the plenum where the fsr is for example?

Nope just some other BMW owners kidding me about my decision to buy a X5.

Here's is the complete thread.
