Fuse symbol meanings

This is unofficial translation of symbols! Use it at your own risk!!!

Fuse boxes may be slightly different depending of the year of production

There's no guarantee of accuracy of information. If you found any error, incorrect or missing info, please leave comment!

Symbols explained below should be accurate to all BMW 3 series (E90/E91/E92/E93)

Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and do not replace a defective fuse with a substitute of another color or amperage rating, otherwise this could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately resulting in a fire in the vehicle

Open the cover in the glove compartment and remove it. Spare fuses and a pair of plastic forceps are set in holders on the distributor box. See the rear of the cover for information on fuse assignment.

Information about the model

E90 - biggest one in BMW 3 series family

Fifth generation of series 3 model has been produced from 2005 to 2011. This compact car has a lot of fans all over the world. And that's not a big surprise. First feeling - very well made. Design is stylish and eye-catching. People say this car is perfect for long distance driving. Powerful and economic - especially for 2.0 diesel engine version. Driving BMW E90 can be entertaining and gives you so much fun - because it handles so well. However some people may find it’s a little bit “heavy” for in twn and that brings us on some BMW other downsizes what is the manual gearboxes which may feel a little bit sloppy and disconnected - so it’s worth considering to spend extra money and getting automatic gearbox.

There are some other potential problems in the rear of E90. It's a decent amount of space back there, however headroom may be limited. It means that BMW 3-series may be not a good idea to carry adults on the back, similar to Audi A4.

All the negatives are only minor issues. BMW 3-series is great compact executive class, may be very cheap to run and for sure is a great choice!
