Interior fan issue

So even though my new car is only a few months away an issue with my x3 has got progressively worse so finally had it diagnosed with bmw

I've always thought my 2015 car had a noisy interior fan, it's been looked at a couple of times with nothing found. So it's been back again as the noise was much louder, after 2 days diagnosis they've have discovered the fan housing has a defect and needs replacing, there is basically a gap which won't seal which is causing the issue. So it needs replacing which is a major job, it's booked in for 3 days in a few weeks to be fixed.

The noise sounds like there is leaf in the fan catching, but there is nothing there.

Just tipping folks off in case anyone has a similar issue (mines under warranty still)

About (8) T20 screws to remove the glove box and the blower motor is right there.

It's not the blower motor that's the issue, it's the housing it sits in, which is a big job to remove
