here is my response, my wifes 1990 300TEs' heater blower motor was going bad for some time, squeaking and rumbling until finally the damn thing just stopped altogether. I thought maybe I could get the thing through to the springtime (as it's 20 out now). Replaced the 80 amp fuse for the blower motor but that didn't work and the blower motor will work for a minute or two if you are whipping down the Chicagoland interstates at 70 mph. But still sucks. So, after research I determined that the blower motor is shot (I just replaced one on my 1988 BMW 325iC). Both of these blower motors ran around $300 new. I went to my local U-Pick-It junkyard for the BMW and found a perfectly fine one for $15, installed it and it's fine. Then the MB one went, not 2 months later, I couldn't believe it. So I went last Tuesday and, low and behold, found a 1993 300E with the blower motor assembly still untouched. The reason for scrap (on the Gieco salvage sheet on the windshield was THEFT, both airbags were deployed). Anyway, I had the opportunity to take the blower motor out, so I know how put it back in my car....$15 again....I figure I have saved around $900 between the 2 cars by going to the junk yard and installing these things myself. I must say Behr products suck...Bosch good...Behr crap....I have had to replace the damn heater blower motor on every freaking BMW I have ever owned and I'll be damned if the same thing didn't happen on the first MB I've ever owned....Behr is junk....
