The most common cause of a non functioning E39 blower is the heater resistor which is located on the right hand side of the heater box under the dash.

PS The heater resistor on an E30 M3 is located either on the LHS of the heater box or attached to the heater fan if the car has aircon.........

Google "Hedgehog resistor" and you should find a few guides.

So, did you buy this imaginary 525tds then, or was it yet more bullshit?

Hmmm, I'll take a wild guess................no photos?
