BMW cigarette lighter fuse is located at the rear right of the trunk, which can be seen upon opening. Taking the 2020 BMW X5 as an example, here are its specifications: 1. Body dimensions: length is 4930mm, width is 2004mm, height is 1776mm, and the wheelbase is 2975mm. 2. Suspension: front suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. 3. Powertrain: equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 265PS, maximum power of 195kW, maximum torque of 400Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Speaking of the fuse location for the BMW cigarette lighter, as a long-time car enthusiast, I often find it either behind the glove compartment or in the fuse box under the lower left side of the front driver's seat. When I first bought this car, I also encountered a situation where the cigarette lighter suddenly stopped working, and upon checking, it turned out to be a blown fuse. The reasons are usually either prolonged charger usage causing overload or the device drawing too much power. I recommend you first turn off the power, open the glove compartment, and look for a small fuse box with a fuse marked with the cigarette lighter symbol. If the model is different, such as some newer BMWs where it might be hidden in the right corner of the engine bay, it's best to check the owner's manual for the exact location. Replacing it yourself is simple: pull out the old fuse and replace it with one of the same amperage, but avoid overloading it. Also, try not to frequently plug and unplug devices to reduce the risk of blowing the fuse, ensuring both safety and convenience while using the car.
