BMW 5 Series fuse box is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, remove the interior trim panel to access the fuse box. There is also another fuse box on the side of the trunk. Below is relevant information about BMW 5 Series fuses: 1. International standard color coding for BMW 5 Series blade fuses: 2A grey, 3A purple, 4A pink, 5A orange, 7.5A brown, 10A red, 15A blue, 20A yellow, 25A clear, 30A green, and 40A dark orange. The different colors allow for clear identification of various ampere ratings. 2. The conductor inside blade fuses is made of metal similar to solder, which has a lower melting point than regular wire. The conductor size is precisely calibrated so that it generates enough heat to melt and break the circuit when reaching rated current. Fuses have two important parameters: working voltage and rated current. Owners should select fuses based on the circuit's voltage and current when purchasing or replacing them.
