My car makes these huffing sounds when the air is on!

On the hotest day in July I could not get my a/c to turn on. also the out side air temp was reading 40 degrees. I found a broken wire on the outside air temp probe. I repaired the wiring and cleaned the connector. the inside temperture began reading the correct temperture and the fan started working normally. So make sure your air temp probe is working.

Fan just stopped working. I tested for power at the blower motor and had none. I used a 12V power supply to power the blower motor for confirmation that the blower was ok. I purchased the reisitor pack at the local BMW dealer becuase I didn't want to wait to have one shipped. Not a difficult DIY.
