This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Got my car all ripped apart and ready for the new resistor and motor to come in. Thank you so much!!!!

I have a 2001 750iL and the blower quit a few weeks ago. I viewed your video before replacing the blower assy and I tested it before I put it all back together. Yep it was rubbing on the driver side. I jammed a blade between the blower cage on the driver side and loosened and then re-tightened the screws. Did the trick. It's all back together and is very quiet. I watched your entire vid and it led me to test it before putting it all back together. You helped me allot with my cherished 2001 750iL. Thanks

Firstly, vid has a super chill athmosphere, love it. And secondly, thanks for the detailed tutorial! The left blower died on my e38 as well as pretty much all the sensors controlling the climate control. Need to check those but dreaded disassembly. This made it a bit less daunting, thanks mate.

This a nice videos very smooth and great detail . As I mention I have done this on a 2001 740 which I had it new . The fan didn’t last 4 years and 80k miles . The noise is the fan rubbing on the housing . You have to make sure the fan is align perfectly in its housing on the dash or the top cover will rub .

Thanks for posting. I used this video to replace my blower motor. I ran into the issue where the fan was rubbing like yours is. I was able to fix it by loosening the 3 torx mounting screws a bit then adjusting the fans position. I left the screws just about hand tight and have no rubbing. Hope that helps anyone dealing with the same issue.

I did this 20 years ago with no direction

I replaced the final stage resistor a few weeks ago, due to a mysterious battery drain. I forgot to test before putting dash back and now the AC blower doesn't turn off when I plugged battery back in, even when they key is out of ignition. Now it drains the battery even faster. . So I could understand the frustration lol
