Thank you for the video. Did the old motor really needed replacement? If there is debris inside it which is causing the offbalance… why not replacing just the casing and clean the motor? Also.. wouldn’t be best to disconnect the battery?
We replace the motor because the cage isn't sold separately. We also replace with new so we can warranty the job. There is no need to disconnect the battery. key off and unplugging the fan is just fine.
Much easier than the E60 version, where you have to dismantle the entire dashboard.
Great video. Need to do this to my car.
Thanks, Mike 👏🏻
You bet!

Curious as to how long this took to repair...BMW is quoting 6 hrs.
