I purchased a used BMW 325ci 18 months ago. In the first six months of driving the car the ac/heater worked fine. However, over time the blower has become intermittent and now ceases to work completely on hot days. Searching online I found that this problem was common to many BMW drivers of similar makes and models. Mechanics posting online have attributed it to a faulty final stage resistor for the blower module. They state that the metal was made of inferior quality. I intend to attempt to repair this myself or take it to a mechanic but the estimates I have received so far are about $300 for total repairs. Last winter my car broke down when it was very cold outside and I had to wait for an hour and a half for a tow truck to arrive, during this time I tried to turn on my heater only to have it cease to work after about 5 minutes. Fortunately I had emergency clothing in the car, but even with that my fingers were numb by the time the tow truck arrived. I think BMW should offer to replace this part for free.
