Where is the fuse box located on a 2011 BMW 1 Series?

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

The 2011 BMW 1 Series does not have a fuse box in the engine compartment. This is because all the fuses for this model are contained within a single box located inside the cabin. Specifically, the fuse box for the 2011 BMW 1 Series is found beneath the dashboard plastics on the passenger side. To inspect it and replace any damaged fuses, you must remove the glove compartment behind which the fuse box is installed.
