The blower needs replacing. Pretty common...
Hopefully your car is still under warranty.

Did the fan 'pulse' before failing. My fan kinda pulses a little bit faster, little bit slower over a 2-3 second cycle. Can't notice it when moving, only when still. Is this indicitive of imminent failure ?

Is that a big job - replacing the fan ? I remember getting one replaced on a non-BMW and they had to take the whole dashboard out, steeting wheel off, to get to the heater matrix and fan.

Probably not the same on a BMW, but would be interested to know

I had mine replaced under cpo it cost 50$ out of pocket. My SA said it wouldve been a 3k $ job other wise. That's when I traded her in for a brand new 3

If the cost is $3k to replace heater fan, then it must mean they remove the dashboard and steering wheel because that cost must all relate to labor.

You sure it's the blower fan? It sounds like this aux water pump problem: https://5series.net/forums/topic/832...hirring-noise/
