May well just be that the fan's died... I'm sure someone'll tell you which fuse it's on, but it's not a big job to change the fan anyway. Was it making any noise or anything, immediately before it stopped working?

this is a common fault, remove the fan blower motor access is gained by removing the cover inside the engine bay on the firewall, on the motor you will find 2 probably red coils (springs) holding what looks like charcoal in the centre spray these with wd40 or the like as dirt gets in and as you know stops the motor spinning, done this on numerous e30s and works every time..
