First time posting, long time lurking.

My girlfriend is having problems with her blower motor (edit) on a 2007 cooper hardtop, problem is, it doesn't work. We took it to the dealer, and they confirmed. However, they are asking for 300+ to replace. I was thinking I can just replace it, but there's one problem, I can not find a single post, youtube video, or random article about it.

Only thing I was able to find was this:

And this (but for 1st gen)

With the first youtube video, I was able to find where the blower motor is. But I have no idea how to access it, and which panel to take out.

I played around with my JCW and found it,

It looks like it is behind the speedometer? But I am not 100% sure.

If ANYONE has any information, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Not sure what car you are talking about, but try this site and pick the right vehicle http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...14&hg=64&fg=40

 

I've seen that site. It only tells me where the part is, but no information about how to get to it.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah,I fix mine blower last weekend,it was quite tricky job! It`s helps take out
"12V wangler unit, alu-shield box" and this metal bracket on firewall,above the pedals.It gives more space and helps the removal of the fan.My fan was really dirty,even if I change the filter once a year.light lubrication oil and compressed air blowing helps.At the same time a little bit cleaning carbon bridge and collector with sandingpaper.I put old fan back ,only use 2/3 T20 screw. it`s runs okay.
