Where are the fuses located in the BMW 1 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Fuse box

As we can see in this video, the BMW 1 Series F20 has two fuse boxes. The first box can be found at the bottom of the boot, accessible by removing the panel. The second box is located in the engine compartment, under the plastic cover between the windscreen and the compartment itself. In this case, you need to remove the cover by unscrewing the 3 fastening bolts with a 10mm spanner. If a fuse is blown, always replace it with a spare of equivalent amperage to avoid damaging the device that uses it.
