Heater Blower Location

The heater blower on my 2005 R50 has started squealing. I have looked on the Internet for information about where the blower is located and how to replace it but I can’t find any information specific to this year R50.

I would appreciate any information. Thank youRich.

Aside from the mistake at top, this should do it

Thank you, don't know why I couldn't find that.

Looks like a terrible job. :P

Not much fun. Try a late 70’s Volvo 200 series. Blower motors are deep in there.

I will try the method described in that thread. I have ISTA for my bmw which appears to cover mini. It shows that the coolant and refrigerant are to be drained and the whole heater assembly removed with the dash!! :-O
