Blower motor install

[8000RPM]

Has anyone installed one of these lately? The design seems to have changed. It doesn’t fit into the factory bracket. When I looked at ECS, it appears the new OE includes a bracket I assume for this reason.

Can anyone confirm?

Old unit



Bracket installed into slots

Yea, I can confirm. I tried to install the new blower into the existing bracket and realized its a different design. I luckily had the new bracket shipped with my blower, but not sure how to get one if it did not

Which one did you buy that came with the bracket? BMW brand?

I bought this one and the holder is included. Costs about 100 €

Do you have any pics of the install? I got the new blower today (which included the bracket) but the orientation seems off. The power plug is either in the back or the very front and isn’t long enough.
