If there is air moving through the vents most likely the final stage transistor(blower resistor) has failed. It controls blower speed from a signal from the ihka (a/c control panel). the final stage receives the signal from the ihka of the drivers preference blower speed. the final stage pwm (pulse width modulates) the blower motor. which means it turns it off and on very quickly to speed up or slow down the blower motor speed. It isn't the easiest part to replace. Usually at a dealership i would expect to pay somewhere around $600 (including diagnosis)but don't hold me to it. bmw dealerships stand behind their repairs and usually include a warranty with the part of 2 years unlimited mileage.

Why does my BMW X3 blow hot air when air conditioner is on?

Its probably just low on refrigerant. I think you can borrow the guages from Autozone for free. I'd start there anyways

My bmw 316 ti 2002 aircon not working well, the blower works but doesn't blow cool air,

i cud be wrong but there's a electric value and sounds like its opened and not closing its located just under the air intake manifold with some 1/4" pipes going into it . http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AY72&mospid=47632&btnr=64_1169&hg=64&fg=18
parts no. 5 prob not the exact same as urs but similar but u can check this by taking it off then reconnecting the wire connector get a light and see if the valves are closing
what this part does is shuts off the hot water to the interrior radiator in the car so it cools down and ur cool air starts flowing and when u want hot air the valve opens and lets the rad heat up so u get hot air

2002 BMW 540I air/conditioner not blowing air at all.

It is the Final Stage Unit/Blower Motor Resistor - changed mine and the problem never came back. After two tows and drained batteries. Most mechanics don't seem to put this one togther - you have to demand it. Funny because it is a VERY COMMON problem in BMW.
