All the fuses for the BMW 3 Series E46 are located inside the single fuse box installed in the vehicle. This is found inside the cabin, on the inner side of the glove compartment on the passenger side.

To access it, open the glove compartment and unscrew the screws that secure the panel at the top inside. Behind this panel, you will find the fuses.

They will all be labeled with their identification code and amperage, including the fuses for the air conditioning, horn, radio, etc.
