A/C motor blowing like it's on the highest setting when it's on the lowest

Fellow Bimmer Drivers.

I have a 2001 BMW 325i, with close to 219K miles. About 3 weeks ago, when I turned on my A/C motor regardless of the setting, it's blowing hard like it's on the highest setting (#4). Every once in a while it will blow like it's on the correct setting, but that will only last for a few minutes, then it's blowing again like it's on the highest sighting. Needless to say, when it blowing on the highest setting all the time my gas mileage is taking a hit as well. I live in the Phoenix, AZ area and having an A/C at this time of year is critical and it is blowing cold air (hallelujah to that). I did a Google/You Tube search and the closest thing I found was it could be the A/C motor resistor. But I wanted to be sure and come to the experts! Has anyone had this same problem? What is it? And what's the solution?


Thanks in Advance
