The fifth generation BMW 3 Series was launched in March 2005. It is based on the platform on which BMW X3 and BMW 1-Series are built. The car is available in sedan (E90), station wagon (E91), coupe (E92) and convertible (E93). In this article we will understand in detail fuse box diagrams BMW e90 / e91 3-Series (5th Gen; 316d, 316i, 318d, 318i, 320si, 320d, 323i, 325i, 328i, 330d, 330i, 335d, 335i, M3) 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 years of manufacture.


Here you will find the locations and photos of the mounting blocks. Also, we will separately mark the fuses responsible for the cigarette lighter and the fuel pump.
