    Yea unfortunately when you purchase a BMW someone already put they hands on, the accurate fuse diagram for your exact car will possibly be missing. So to anyone dealing with this issue like I am I wish you good luck on search because there’s absolutely no information on specific fuse locations all the information I’ve found so far has been all over the place with each fuse box switching random fuse locations. BMW engineers are pure evil but you gotta love em
