Original BMW HVAC Blower Unit for BMW F07/F10 5 Series, F06/F12/F13 6 Series, F01/F02/F04 7 Series, M5, and M6 (2009–2019)

Original BMW blower unit 64-11-9-248-171 is the HVAC blower motor that pushes heated or cooled air through the climate system and out of the cabin vents on F-chassis BMW 5 Series, 5 Series Gran Turismo, 6 Series, and 7 Series cars, including the M5, M6, ActiveHybrid, and Alpina models, from 2009–2019. Without a working blower, the heating and air conditioning system cannot distribute air properly, which makes the interior hard to heat or cool. BMW identifies the part as the blower unit, and it weighs 2.7 kg (6 lb). Each unit is made in Germany and sold as a single assembly.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Part number 64-11-9-248-171 took the place of 64-11-9-243-950, and it also cross-references to 64-11-9-204-485 and 64-11-6-987-595. BMW uses this one blower unit across a wide spread of F-chassis cars, so the same number serves four-, six-, eight-, and twelve-cylinder models alike. That makes choosing the right version simple, because body style and engine do not change the part number within this fitment.

Common Questions

What are the signs of a failing blower unit?
Weak or no airflow from the vents is one of the most common signs. If the system gives no response at all, with no sound and no airflow, the blower unit may have failed completely.

Will it fit a car built before this number appeared?
For the models covered here, yes. BMW classes 64-11-9-248-171 as exchangeable retrospectively with 64-11-9-243-950, so it can replace the earlier unit on cars built before April 2011.
