BMW BMW fuse symbols meaning and guide Fuse box

BMW fuse symbols explained

There's no official BMW guide and explanation for fuse symbols. Therefore I created a list of all BMW symbols with meaning. I try to cover every single symbol in the guide. If you see that something is missing, please feel free to add your own symbol and explain the purpose of this symbol in the comment section. Also, if you see some errors or mistakes in icons, please let me know. I will try to keep this guide updated.
