The BMW 3 Series has two fuse boxes, one located on the side of the trunk and the other in the engine compartment in front of the passenger seat. Below are the detailed specifications of the BMW 3 Series: 1. Body dimensions: The vehicle weighs 1465 kg, with length, width, and height measuring 4734mm, 1811mm, and 1455mm respectively. 2. Powertrain: The long-wheelbase version of the BMW 3 Series is equipped with the new B-series 2.0T engine, delivering 184 horsepower, the same as the current 320i/Li, but the tail badge has been changed to 325Li. 3. Transmission: It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, improvements in lightweight design, thermal energy management, and fuel efficiency optimization contribute to the vehicle's power output.
As a car enthusiast, I remember that the BMW 3 Series fuse box is mainly hidden in two locations. One is in the engine compartment, usually on the right side near the battery or windshield, and the other is under the glove box on the front passenger side. Specifically, it's behind the glove box, and you'll need to remove the glove box to see it. I recommend starting your search in the engine compartment first, as it's the more accessible point. After opening the hood, follow the battery cables to find a black or gray plastic box with a cover labeled FUSE. The exact position may vary slightly depending on the model year—for example, older models might have it deeper inside the glove box, while newer models might place it in the footwell area of the front passenger side. Once found, remember to use specialized pliers to replace fuses instead of handling them directly with your hands to prevent short circuits. Regular inspections can help prevent electrical issues—it's best to check every six months and keep the area clean. If warning lights appear on the dashboard while driving, always check the fuses first—safety comes first.
