Bmw e32 – fuse and relay

The second generation of the BMW 7 Series entered the auto market in 1986 and was designated the E32 body. Years of issue: 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994. We will look at the main relay boxes and fuses of the BMW E32. This diagram is similar to the 34 body (there are also additional boxes). But they still have their own differences.

The information provided is for reference only and may differ from yours and depends on the year of manufacture and vehicle equipment.
