It took me about half a day first time I did it but I had to go backin a couple days later and it took maybe two hours because I knew exactly what I was doing. I've attached the DIY, you need to stick to the order it does matter.

I looked at the PDF. Most of this is unnecessary. Just look at steps 48 down. Take out your CCC/M-ASK and the plastic frame. And expose the plastic covering the blower. If you see on his PDF #58 you can see the Final stage unit (it's the one with the heat sink. There's no need to take all of this trim and center console stuff off. It should take about one hour and about 2.5 if you've never done it before.
Gee_115 i assume this is not your car since it's a EU car.

wow that does seem like a major PITA.
but all i need to do is replace the regulator, not the blower or all that other caca.

Even so it is not as bad as it looks, kinda intimidating but once you get going its a piece of cake just have several diffrent tools you will run into phillips head and different sized torx.

BUT in my first BMW I had the issue. I bought part and while guy was in the back a BMW tech came out and i told him and asked advice he said to take out the fuse for a few min and reseat it. I paid $100 for part, walked out the door, did what he said and it worked flawlessly for the next 3 yrs. lol. I returned the part a few min later
I'd like to give that a try first.
