Thanks for the video, it saved me 650.00 bucks. I spend 45 on the part. Dealer quoted 700.00 to fix it on my 2014 Alpina B7 and they told me it was a common problem and they constantly suggest to BMW to fix the part. In my car all the mesh was gone and there were two leaves in the blower cage causing the noise. I have never seen such a ridiculous part on a very expensive car, I love um but this is proof Germans drink on the job.

I feel like a winner, just finished replacing this part, cleaning out the blower fan and now my A/C is quiet again and working properly. Thank you so much for this great video Made it easy and according to the guy above I saved anywhere from $500- $1400 dollars. 💪🏼 The part cost me $61 at the Dealership

I fixed mine with a piece I cut from a 3M Filteret Basic filter used for Window Mounting A/C units. The filter is very low resistance while the material is washable and long lasting compared to the material on the original part that degrades in short time. For securing the filter piece into the case cover, I used a double sided tape for electronics. The adhesive is strong while still removable if I need to replace the filter piece in the future. No need to spend on the original cover unless the part is cracked. My part cost was just under US$6.00

“Displugged”?

This was great. The BMw shop quoted me $438!!! For an AC Motor and this was I needed to do. I appreciate the detailed instructions. I even got a ton of brownie points from my wife 😂.

so i did this, but what happened to me, was that the blower motor would go on, but nothing through the vents. i replaced the wiring loom, regulator and blower motor. the blower motor goes on, but nothing through the air vents? what do you think would cause this

Nice !!!! I can't believe I went to a BMW dealership 3 years ago and they said they had no idea what was causing the noise. And they told me they'd have to take the whole dash down to fix the problem. I WALKED AWAY !!!!

why work so much its only3 screws and you have the whole unit aside

What's up guys. Since my 2009 750Li is down and waiting for turbos to arrive in the mail. I decided to open up the blower compartment since my fan is embarrassing loud when the fan is a max cool. Welp you guessed it my screen is completely gone except for one small square at the bottom left... I had about four large leafs in the fan motor. I ordered a now housing cover from FCP Euro and the cabin filters replacements. They offer life time warranty on everything they sale. This weekend project turbo replacement on my 2009 750Li @ 82,000 miles TX. I'm not a mechanic but a beginner DIY mechanic lol. Thats for the video Homerras

Mine currently shaking like whole dashboard

Thank you so much I fixed it over the summer. Thank you for the video. You are one of the few that do DIY videos for the F01/F02 chassis.

Cheers Homerraas! First job I did on my new-to-me F01. Next job: valve cover replacement.

Thank you so much for this video. I recently noticed a similar noise in my car and also saw the black crumbles when I replaced my air filter. You just saved me $$&& and your video are very clear and concise. Thanks again for sharing

I used an home A/C filter and did wonders. Thank you for the detailed walk through.

Dear Sir! You are the best! I have done such clean today according to your manual and there were some leaves found in the fan. I have cleaned them and now is blows perfect!!!

Thanks also. Managed to take the entire unit out and chuck a replacement one in there. Replaced the filter material with some from fish tank suppliers :) £70 all in and a couple of hours work. Really glad I found this,

Just purchased a 2013 F02 and your videos are coming in CLUTCH because not too much info on these cars in comparison to 3 and 5 series thanks!

Great video man, there are very few F01 F02 videos on KZfaq looking forward to future videos..

Dude. Saw this some time ago. Recently affected myself. Came back to say thanks. I didnt order a replacement filter. I replaced the filter with the filter of a shop vac. Looks exactly the same

Amazing. I have this exact same noise in my 750li. I'm going to do this cleaning job next weekend. Thanks so much for this video.
