The cigarette lighter fuse in the BMW 3 Series E90 is located, like all other fuses, inside the fuse box. To access it, enter the cabin from the passenger side and open the glove compartment. Next, rotate the two knobs on the inner wall of the glove box to remove it. Once removed, the fuse box will be visible: the cigarette lighter fuse is the one labeled with the number 31 in the owner's manual.

To remove this fuse, you will need the special pliers located inside the fuse box.
