Where is the Cigarette Lighter Fuse in the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Cigarette lighter

If the cigarette lighter in your BMW 3 Series has suddenly stopped working, first check the status of the related fuse. As shown in this video, it is located in the fuse box inside the cabin, specifically behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, first remove the drawer bottom by turning the two locks counterclockwise, then locate fuse number 8, which is the eighth in the top row. Once identified, grab it with the provided pliers, pull it towards you, and insert the replacement, which should have the same specifications.
