Default Root cause insight into the common BMW blower motor resistor failures

That "something" could be as simple as a diode. PWM is
commonly used to vary the power to a motor. BMW, for
example, uses it on the aux fan motor of the X5. And I
would suspect that it's also used for the blower motor
because you wind up wasting a lot less power that way.
And every little bit of power saved adds up and effects MPG.

I agree with all you say.
