I've been driving a BMW 520Li for a while now, and the fuse box location is quite easy to find. It's usually located in the driver's footwell area below the dashboard on the left side. Just crouch down and you'll see a black plastic cover; lifting it reveals various labeled fuses. There's another main fuse box in the engine compartment, positioned near the left side of the windshield, which requires opening the hood to locate the black cover. Remember to unlock the steering wheel or turn off the engine before operating to avoid accidental short circuits. The design makes replacing fuses straightforward, and there might even be spare fuses in the spare tire compartment just in case. Whenever I encounter lighting issues, I always check the footwell fuse box first, quickly replacing the blown fuse by referring to the manual's numbering. Experienced drivers often mention that locations vary by model, but for the 520Li, they're mostly in these spots, making daily checks and maintenance hassle-free.
