Can any body tell me where the blower motor is located in the 86 528E?? I have heard that it is either behind the fire wall, or under the center councel. I also know that it will either take a Bosch, or a Scailia (not sure on spelling). Can you tell me how to find these q's out without taking off the fire wall, or pulling the interior dash apart!

Thanks a bunch

The heater blower is behind the firewall, relatively easy to access. I forget how to tell which is which, but search Behr or Sophia and you should find the differences. I do know that one has a larger diameter motor body and there may a difference in the color of the cages. If you have the larger bodied one, you can use the smaller bodied one and just shim it to fit.
I've had a half a dozen e28s and they've all had the Behr blower.
The A/C blower is inside by the radio. Bitch to get to.
