On the BMW 3 Series, all fuses are located inside the designated fuse box installed in the vehicle. You can find it behind the glove compartment on the passenger side.

Open the glove compartment and then detach the panel inside. At this point, you will be able to locate the fuses responsible for the operation of the cigarette lighter, interior lights, horn, etc. Each fuse can be replaced with a new fuse of the same amperage.
