BMW M3 Climate Control Repair
I recently had a fault with my M3 Climate Control where it
intermittently went blank. It truned on and off when it pleased and
the display went dim some times. I contacted BMW and the price of a
new one is about £170 + vat. OUCH!!
I scoured the breakers yard listings in the yellow pages and found
breakers that dealt with them, but they had none. Their price was £100
+ vat... better! Then I found a web page that mentioned the very fault
that I was experiencing. I sent my unit away with £65 worth of postal
orders and presto two days later it arrived and was Ok !!
I just thought I would share this with you as I know it is a VERY
COMMON FAULT on BMW M3 Climate Controls.

I hope this helps someone.

If you fairly good with electronics all that needs replacing is a 29p
capacitor. I would recomend that a polyester capacitor be used instead of
the tantalum capacitor mentioned because a tantilum has to be wired the
correct way around. In the UK you can obtain the polyester capacitor from
Maplin part code BX80B (Polyester 0.47uF) cost 29p. Click the link and it
gives a brilliant guid on how to change it. I could of course just place an
advert on the web and rip people off.......
