Is this engineering revenge for losing the war?
Best comment ever.
I was gonna try this until I read this
We just did our daughter's 2010 528I blower motor and resistor following your excellent detailed instructions. Blows ice cold now, took us about 5 hours, and we save $1,300 from the dealer quote. Thank you so much!
That’s awesome! Thank you for watching and Sharing!
Do you Fixs cars
i could be wrong..., but the only panel that needs to be opened is the central one with the acces behind the computer.
You're right 😁👍🏻
The blower motor on my 7 series (1992) was accessed through a panel in the engine bay by the firewall. I thought it was an inconvenient area for a blower but WOW, it's nothing compared to this E60! I'm thankful for the easy access!
Great video, I'm sure it will help the poor owners of E60's who need to do this job. :)
Onaj ko radi sebi uz pomoc videa ne mora znaciti da je siromasan.
@zarkosarenac9042 I think he means poor as in unfortunate.
Thank you BMW for making it so easy for us BMW owners fixed in no time😂😂😂😂😂
It’s not a fun one for sure
Good job, bro! I know that camera slows ya down when you’re trying to make money so I appreciate you doing what you’re doing.
50sKid thank you. I make work fun and I get to help people so it’s worth it. Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I just used this video as a guide to replace the blower motor on my 2010 e61 535i wagon. It has some slight differences but was extremely helpful overall. There were a few connectors that my car had that this one didn’t. Also, the electronic shifter is pretty in the way but if you strip the center console except for the shifter you can get things out without too much trouble.
A word of warning about leaving the key in during this work - the car got mad at me and threw DCS and AWD errors due to too much battery drain. Other people said you have to leave the key in. I saw no reason at all to do this and recommend you do not leave your key in.
Took me about 5 hours overall but I had some things I had to do in between. I also forgot a couple screws and had to do some dissemble reassemble a second time. Ho hum. Great video!
Do I need any system setting by computer after replacing the blower ? Thank you.
My 2007 BMW E61 520 blowermotor was chirping and whistling like bird and I was sure the bearings were gone. One of my first big repairs on a car, very good instructions. Ended up taking drivers side panel out too to have more space when putting air vents back. Spend close to 8h to this. Got it done what so ever. Also my battery run out so i had to wait to test it. I was really stressed before doing this, now it feels amazing to have it done and working perfectly and saved a lot of money😄
Thank you for the video😊
Just done this job exactly as instructed on this video except mine is RHD. Very detailed and saved me an awful lot of hassle so thank you for a great help.
Great video. This is my 3rd project for my 2007 530i. 1.Valve Cover gasket and plugs, 2.Oil filter housing gasket, then 3. blower motor that is apparently full of crickets, or so it sounds. 195K miles and still running strong. Just have to maintain them.
Mark Symms sounds like a BMW. Good luck with all the repairs. You will have a good run car for awhile. Thank you for watching!
Did you disconnect the battery when doing the blower motor ?
Thank you so much for the video! I completed the job today on my 2008 535i. Took me about 7 hours over 2 days but I work slowly. I neglected to remove the inner portion of the air vent which impeded the right side of the tunnel into the blower fan. I should have…much less wiggling and fear of breaking something. I had some difficulty with the rear air vent at the back end of the center console (for the rear passengers)…those vents are attached in a weird way in the 2008, so be careful. Saved a ton of $, even over my favorite indy mechanic.
My 07 530xi manual (165k miles) blower has a bad bearing and is making a terrible sound. I have been ignoring it for months but now that winter is coming I felt that I should look up how to swap it out so I don't get stuck without a defroster when it finally dies.
I have replaced a lot of blower motors, most are two or three screws and possibly a panel-- the e60 blower access is absolutely insane. I have certainly done pain in the butt jobs to replace a small part before, but in this case BMW appears to have given zero thought to providing access to a common wear part. Exceptional video- thank you for providing this guide which will save me hours, I will absolutely buy the parts with your affiliate links!!
Thank you. I appreciate the step by step instructions. It is super tedious but your video helped me save a few hundred dollars easily. Thank you for your help!!!
I follow your video .... excellent... save me a lot of money with this DIY. The Video is excellent. Thanks .... people like you made a difference in this world!
Uz pomoc ovoga sam skunuo ventilator. Nisam mogao bez videa.👍
Very informative, thank you for taking the time to make the video.
Wow awesome job one-handed recording with the other certainly appreciate all the knowledge you share with us thank you
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Thanks just sorted mine. This guide is fantastic
I need to do the same. Looks labor intensive. Thank you so much for the video.
Thanks bro! Your video guided me perfectly👊🏻
Great job man👍. I'm doing this later today. I'm a mechanic for 20 years so i don't expect to have any problems but it was nice to see this video so i know what to expect before i do it.
Bojan Vogrinčič I do the same thing i check out videos before I do the repairs. Especially if I’ve never done one.
How to Automotive i just finished it. It went well with no problems 👍.
Bojan Vogrinčič nice you did that fast 👍🏻
How much would you charge for this job out of interest as I have same problem with my e60 59 535d :(
Really well done. You got to love German engineering, what should be a twenty minute job turns into all day 🇨🇦
Thanks for saving me time and headaches!
James x glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video! Will be starting this project tonight. I think I need to replace the heater core as well. Any words of advise you can offer?
Yes thank you brotha god bless your heart it saves us over $1000 bucks to change a $100 part on bmws lol stupid German cars but made really good so I love them my advise to anyone be prepared to spend minimum 4hours it’s time consuming but will save you over a grand
Bro I finally got to it smh this was a mission a days worth of work but at home in the shade with music etc I gotta day this video saved me a few hundred of Dollars I just recommend adding the tools that was needed cause you don’t want to open it up and get stuck cause you don’t have the proper tools luckily I had it all but a 12” extension will make it easier for the impact a set of hex to unscrew the screws inside a flat head and I bought these plastic blue set from amazon prior to the job too helped so you won’t damage anything thanks a lot bro 👍🏽🤘🏽you rock
Luis Lopez glad the video helped and you saved money.That’s awesome and I like to tips on adding the tools. Thank you for watching!
Thanks I like your video it save my time
Thank you so much for posting this
Hi, nice job! I am trying to find location for final stage unit/resistor(piece with several ~2" prongs), I also have a 04 e60.
Hi, great vido thanks. You mention that when you put the new blower motor in you check it spins or otherwise it needs adjustment. Mine doesn't spin but I can't work out how to adjust it?
Great tutorial
Awesome video 👍!
What kind of symptoms were you experiencing?
Low miles 06 530xi a/c seems to feel restrictions of air coming out regardless of turning to high with the dial. Only when car has been driven awhile and the outside temp was about 82-85 degrees.
Feels like a damper door has closed a bit but still releasing cold air.
Hour later it had no issue but the drive was short.
Thanks
Just did this job thanks for the detailed video
I know this one sucks. Hopefully everything when smooth
Did you disconnect the battery while doing the blower replacement ?
Did this job on my e53 X5 yesterday , it was one of the most awkward and fiddly jobs I have done even though my car is RHD however with the brake pedal in the way was annoying along with re-fittingthe air ducts
Yeah this job is a pain in the ass.
do you need to disconnect the battery first? what brand blower motor would you recommend?
Well done nice video
I'm trying to get to the ac expansion valve is that just removal of glove box?
Great. Thanks for help
Thank you for watching!
Thanks, still hard to work this trough outside -10-15c ...
Definitely not an easy job.
Thank u very much !
Is it the same part and installation process for the e61?
Do I need any system setting by computer after replacing the blower motor ? Thank you.
very nice thank you
George King thank you for watching!
That is my next job. Thanks to this video I will save a lot of time. How long did you take for this job? Thanks master.
learningfromthebest now quite a bit of work luckily all the screws are pretty much the same.
Super guide. Thank you
How long it takes to do the job if not filming?
Marius M if I remember right the book time was at around 4 1/2 hours and I think it took me about three
Is that the heater core behind the blower? Or is that the evaporator
Geat video!🤙
Thank you!
In my old vwcc you drop the glove box and there it is, think I'll pay someone to do this 😂
I know this is a old video, my friends got a 06 bmw 525xi we replaced the blower motor and plugged it in and the climate panel plugs in and the wheels spun but we just put the cover for the blower motor back on and plug it back in and still nothing out of the vents?
hey kids … don’t try this at home! Eslick is bad ass.
Bruce Rulz there’s a lot going on for sure. Thank you for watching!
Thanks!
Thank you very much!!
Hi do you know if the bmw e63 has the blower in same location
Nice bro
Vgns chanal thank you !
I wonder 05 325 ci the blower is the same location? Please give me the answer. Thanks
How do I know if my resistor or my blower motor is bad?
How much would you charge to do this job as I dont want to pay over the odds as have same issues with my 09 535d
Can you tell me i do everything like you and know my left side blowing hot air and right side cold air what i miss....driver side,foot side and windshiled side blowing hot air, and passanger side foot central and windshield blowing coold air
Thanks
Buddy you make it look easy . Would not recommend doing it yourself 🤣🤣🤣 much hardship 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for the video. Helped a lot 🤟🤟
How long does it take?
@@TheAutumnWind_RN4L it took me at least 4 hours to do myself. If you are doing it yourself, becareful of the housing not to break the cover.
@Lorcan1 damn. Alright. Hey, was yours just seeping air out intermittently from very odd compartments, but just while in motion? Like yesterday, mine was blowing out of the defroster vents but not out of anywhere else. Then another day it was coming very softly from the floor but only when I was driving. And 2 days ago out of the front, but only when driving. Today...nothing at all 😡!
Good video.
But I think I will put up with the noise.
Hi after I changed my blower and resistance work for 2 weeks after stop again and checked my fault code is 9c57... I'm stuck
How long will this job take to do
Great video. I'm in the process of getting a 2002 ...... I see you said 03 - 10 I believe, would it be the same process on the 2002? Or on those you have to take the entire dashboard out. Thanks
I would double check into it some of them are outside in the engine bay
Hey bro I remove blower but idrive and display is not working .,Help me please
The wood trim doesnt "just pop off". You need to slide it forward not to brake the clips at the back.
I have squeak noise problem on my E39 from this blower, but this is actual only in winter and after it warms up, noise goes off or maybe is slightly hearable. Any explanation on this? And is it possible to somehow oil it without taking out motor?
daMoonSon it sounds like one of the bearings on the motor is going out. It’s difficult to get in there and get to the motor so if you’re going to go that far I would replace it.
Where are you guys located at ?
Hi There,
Thank you for the video very helpful!
I did this job and my front vent are getting a very low airflow. There’s any particular reason for that?
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi im think of changing this part in my car however I need to still drive the car so will the car still start and drive I can only assume that it will just asking in case I'm wrong thanks
As long as you get everything away from the shifter you should be able to drive it.
i have a 2008 bmw lci and when the heater is on then it makes a plastic burning smell or a electronical fire smell what causes that??
It’s most likely the Valve Cover Gasket leaking and getting on the exhaust.
It’s insane that you have to pull all this apart just to get to the blower motor 😢
excuse my question is there a short cut to replace only the resistor
Luis Vazquez not on this model.
What a nightmare of a job! Just for a blower?? Hope I never have to do this lol
DIY-HAVEN yeah it was not fun. Hopefully you never have to do one.
@@HowtoAutomotive two years later....I have this job coming up lol
Great Video! But DAMN! This is crazy!😬 Hope everyone REMEMBERS to connect everything! 😲
Einstein Casino there is a lot going on. I had to video it to remember😜 thank you for watching!
Why did you change that white module? Old module to new blower motor.(Blower resistor)
Who Am I The resistor and the motor are common failed parts so you don’t want to go back in there. So it’s wise to change them both now
Does this work for my 535xi 2008?
Same question here
Wow I thought it was more simpler like F series
My blowers working but I have no heat blowing out!. Replaced water pump thermostat, both electric pumps but still no heat
Damn what was the culprit?
@@bidenisgod6978 believe it or not I’ve left the car sitting over a year as I mot’d it before I parked it up. Last thing would be the heater matrix being blocked as there hot water going to the matrix from the pipe in but nothing coming out!.
@@R5GTT damn I just did my blower motor and its working good now
@@bidenisgod6978 congrats mate... what I’m going to do is get a blower motor and a heater matrix and fit them both so not to mess about again :( did you blower motor blow cold air before you replaced it?
@@bidenisgod6978 also sorry for the late reply as I’m on the forums selling and buying stuff 😂
Thank you chevy, thank you Toyota for your best design, this shit just want to take off the engine to replace the blower 🤮🤮🤮
Why remove the glove box
Pain in the a$$, but not as bad as the E53 X5
Bloody hell is there anything left of the car that you didn't have to remove 🤣🤣
I had to remove the whole dash last week on an 08 to do that job because Alldata didn’t have the instructions!! Oh well... I get paid by the hour anyways...😓
Wrong! No need to remove the glove box and lower panels! Only central console and arm rest!
I won’t how many times he said NOW??lol 😜and dam that’s a mission to fix my AC but I still think is still worth it or pay over a grand just to get the AC back working lol
Looks like way too much work for a blower motor!
Definitely not fun
Next step after you have stripped whole car you can replace a fu*king blower motor😂😳😠
Scotty Kilmer has over 1 million subs....hes always talking crap about BMW and Mercedes. He showed a 2008 BMW that doesnt even have an oil dipstick...sensor for that...ridiculous
RAM TRUCKS they are definitely crazy cars to work on and work with. It just takes time getting used to working with them.
Yeah, my airliner doesn't have a dipstick either. Ha. And the nice thing about the electronic oil level is it throws a caution when you get down one quart out of 6.7, so you add exactly a quart and go on your way. I actually find it more accurate than a dipstick, which can be hard to read on some cars.
Yeah and they work fine lol. Talking shit and your username is ram trucks 😂😂
Scotty Kilmer says BMWs are Junk....pure money pits
Dxdm 280bt They definitely can’t be a money pit for sure.
they are if you don`t know how to fix them by your own. parts are not that expensive and and they are well made cars.
Fake news.
This is why I would never waste my money on a BMW. Made so stupid!
