Q: A.c. and heat blowers
My car isn't blowing any kind of air anymore! My defrost doesn't even work anymore lol my car gets so foggy I can't see ANYTHING. I'm assuming the entire motor blower or whatever it's called completely quit on me and needs fixed/replaced. Is it a hard and expensive fix for a BMW? The longer I have this car the more I find out how unbelievably expensive it is to maintain!!!
