My AC in my car is not blowing out any air. However, my panel is working. What do I need to check on to fix?

Hello,

This could be a problem with your blower motor. Your vehicle's blower motor is what is responsible for blowing the air out of the vents. It is usually called fan speed on many vehicle's. Please go to the link down below:

It looks like the dashboard panel needs to be removed.

Hello again,

Here's what I have for the removal and installation of the blower motor on your vehicle. I have included it in the diagrams down below. You might want to check the"Final Stage Unit"they go bad often in BMW's

Thanks,
Alex

The image does not look like the blower motor for a BMW x5 3.0.

I drove with AC on running fine. Made one stop. After restarting my car the AC and fan stopped blowing. No air coming out of vents and no condensation on AC lines under the hood. So even at full blast the AC or fan doesn't blow any air into the cabin.

Please Help!

The final stage is suspect. The failure you report is typical and replacement if recommended.
