The blower in the BMW 525 is located in front of the front passenger seat. First, you need to remove the two cup holders in front of the front passenger seat, pull out the cover of the cup holders, then use a screwdriver to remove the four screws behind the cover, and then use a screwdriver to remove the four screws on the storage box. After taking out the storage box, you can see the blower. The BMW 525 has a body length, width, and height of 5106mm, 1868mm, and 1500mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3105mm. The headlights of this car feature a dual-xenon design for high and low beams, while the honeycomb-shaped turn signals add a touch of fashion. The engine hood maintains a water ripple line design, giving it a dynamic feel like a speedboat skimming across the water.
When driving a BMW 525, I noticed that the blower motor is usually installed under the dashboard, specifically in the footwell area in front of the passenger seat. To locate it, you'll need to remove the floor mat and plastic cover panel, with its position being close to the air conditioning system's evaporator and heater core assembly. The blower's function is to push airflow through the system. If it fails, the air volume inside the car may decrease significantly or disappear entirely. Common issues include motor aging, blades clogged with dust, or unusual noises, all of which affect AC performance. I once encountered loud noise and found leaves inside after opening the cover – cleaning them out restored quiet operation. When replacing, it's advisable to disconnect the battery's negative terminal to prevent short circuits. The design location is decent, but the workspace is tight, so wearing gloves and safety goggles is recommended for safer operation. For regular maintenance, periodically replacing the cabin air filter can reduce dust accumulation at the blower intake, extending motor life. If you're unfamiliar with tools, it's best to visit an authorized repair shop since electrical work is involved – safety always comes first.
