No wonder my mechanic told me it's a seven hour job. If BMW had better engineers they'd have figured out that a simple pop out panel right above the blower motor would turn this massive undertaking into a 15 minute replacement. REALLY STUPID on their part.

@@MOvidiu You must be an engineer and of course then missing the point. It's not how reliable the blower motor is over how many miles!
