I will light it on fire and drive it thru the stealers front windows before I dismantled the entire interior for a squealing fan...BMW is a lousy company that doesn't stand behind their crap.

:rofl: ... :thumbup:

From the teardown pics in this thread and others, it is almost like they designed/built the car around the HVAC blower motor.

I've done a few blower motors over the decades; none required more than 20 mins of crawling around under the dash/under the hood.

The most recent situ, I had the local Chebby dealer in Billings, MT do it to my '02 C5 Vert, as I was on a road trip and didn't feel like doing it myself: it was <$100 and took 15 mins for the tech.

One couldn't make up the X blower motor R&R scenario. It would be labeled as extreme hyperbole, or fiction.

I would pay to see a good vid of that through the dlr window action. ;)
GL, mD

Last blower motor I did was my 68 gran torino big block back in high school...pop the hood..4 screws..unplug..replace..20 mins....The good ole days.

You think the engineers chuckle when they design these beemers?


fyi would not be the 1st one I took a match to
