    Default New blower motor, where's the best deal?

    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?
