Who's got the best deal on the blower motor for 525i 1989, even if it's in Germany?

Lubing the old bearings is likely a waste of time. If they squeak they're probably shot.

Ask me how I know...

Mine wasn't squeaking, it just died, it was not very efficient on 1,2,3 though. Maybee that's the sign.
Anyways if the fuses are OK and it doesn't work in possition 4 then it should be the blower that's dead, right?
