Disassembly of the BMW 3 Series air conditioning fan.

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Blower motor

In this video tutorial, we will see how to disassemble and replace the air conditioning fan of the BMW 3 Series. First, we open the car's engine hood and start unscrewing the plastic cover fastening screws located on the top of the dashboard, in order to remove it. We will find the air conditioning fan at the back, as shown in the video. At this point, we unscrew the fan fastening screws, disconnect the electrical connector to remove it, and replace it with the new one. We then apply the reverse process for reassembly, and test its functionality afterwards!
