Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-488
If the heater or A/C fan in your BMW has lost some of its speeds, the Standard Ignition RU-729 front Blower Motor Resistor is designed to bring back variable blower speed control. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2006-2011 BMW 323I, 2007-2013 BMW 328I, 2007-2013 BMW 335I, 2007-2017 BMW X5 and 2011-2018 BMW X3.
The resistor controls blower motor speed at each fan setting. Signs it may need replacing include a fan that runs only on its highest setting, missing fan speeds, or a blower that won't run on certain settings. Other faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed resistor is the cause, this unit replaces it.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does an HVAC blower motor resistor do?
It controls the speed of the blower motor that moves air through the heater and A/C vents. That lets the fan run at the different settings you select.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
Common signs include a fan that runs only on high, missing fan speeds, or no blower on some settings. Other faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose before replacing.
Which vehicles does the RU-729 fit?
It fits 25 BMW applications, including the 2007-2013 BMW 328I, 2008-2015 BMW X6 and 2009-2016 BMW Z4. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Why does the RU-729 use copper connectors?
Standard uses premium copper electrical connectors to achieve more precise resistance values. This helps resistor performance and part life.
What numbers does the RU-729 interchange with?
It interchanges with 64116927090, 64119146765, 64119222072, 64119265892, 64119266185, RU1418, JA1782 and BR629.
