How To Change HEATER CONTROL VALVE On BMW X5 4.4i V8 | BOND Garage

In this video I'll walk you through the problems I've encountered with the HVAC of my new to me BMW X5 E53 with the 4.4 liter V8, how I diagnosed and solved this issue.
Spoiler: it's been the heater control valve of course. I'll explain in the video what it does, how it works and why mine stopped working properly.
