2 Answers
The fuse box in the BMW 4 Series is located under the steering wheel in the main driver's compartment. Taking the 2021 BMW 425i as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4773mm, width 1852mm, height 1395mm, with a wheelbase of 2851mm, a fuel tank capacity of 59 liters, and a trunk capacity of 440 liters. The 2021 BMW 425i features a front suspension with a double-joint spring strut front axle and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 184 PS, a maximum power of 135 kW, and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving for several years and have helped friends with similar issues. Finding the fuse box location in a BMW 4 Series is really not difficult. Generally, it's located in the engine compartment, right where you can see after opening the front hood, mostly near the battery or next to the suspension strut tower. It's a bit hidden but not troublesome to find. The last car I encountered was a 2018 4 Series Gran Coupe, and the fuse box was on the left side of the engine. You'll need to clear some clutter first to see the cover. Don't worry about the operation being complicated; just unclip the fastener to open it. If you really can't find it, check the chapter in the vehicle's user manual for a diagram showing its location. The position varies due to different car model designs, such as hardtops or convertibles possibly placing it elsewhere. I recommend beginners disconnect the battery before touching any fuses to avoid accidental short circuits. In short, regular checks can prevent electrical failures, making driving more reassuring.
