Location and Diagram of the Fuse Boxes in the BMW 1 Series

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

In this video, we can see the location and diagram of the fuse boxes in the first series of the BMW 1 Series: the cabin fuse box is located behind the glove compartment. This is made of soft plastic, so to remove it, simply empty it and press on the sides to pull it towards you. A second fuse box is found in the engine compartment, also on the passenger side (referring to guides on the left), in the triangle near the suspension strut, covered by a plastic cover. Remove it to access the engine fuse box.
