2011 BMW 3 Series E90 Fuse Box Diagram

Behind the glove-compartment lid, on the right-hand side of the dashboard: swing the glove box down, give the two plastic fasteners a quarter turn and the fuse-box cover comes off in your hand. The allocation card is fixed inside that cover - photograph it before it goes missing - and the puller and a row of spare fuses are held in clips on the box. A 2011 model-year car (September 2010 to August 2011 production, the E90 saloon's last full model year before the F30 replaced it) uses the same third-series card as the 2009 and 2010 facelift cars; no source records a renumbering after September 2007, so the assignment below is that card's.

The numbering is easiest to follow column by column. Along the top the MINI fuses go left to right in three blocks, the second row of each block starting five higher (1-5 over 6-10, and so on). The ATO sockets in the middle band are numbered from the bottom of each column upwards - 31, 32, 33 in the first column - and two of them carry no number on the card. Lower down, 52-61 form two short columns of flat MINI fuses that count upwards, 62-71 lie in two rows of five, 72-77 stand in a row across the bottom, 78-80 are the taller window fuses on end, and 81-86 and the MAXI block 87-92 each fill two columns from the bottom up. The relay marked Kl. 30g on the right feeds the terminal-30g consumers.
