Localization of battery, diagnostic port, and fuse boxes of the BMW 1 Series E81.

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Battery

In this video we can see where some important components of the BMW X1 E81 are located: the battery is located in the luggage compartment, under the removable load floor, secured by a safety bracket. The fuse box is located inside the glove compartment. Here on the right side, we will find a small drawer with a handle: by removing it we will expose the main fuses and relays. We will find the EOBD port (diagnostic port) on the driver's side, inserted in the driver's door pillar. Here we find a small recess, and by removing the cap that we find inside, we expose the EOBD port.
