The next modification of the BMW 5 series after the E39 was the E60. The car was produced in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 in two body styles: sedan (E60) and station wagon (E61). We will consider the diagrams of relay boxes and fuses for the BMW E60 with a description of the purpose of the elements. Note the cigarette lighter fuse.
Spare fuses and plastic tweezers should be included with the driver’s tool kit. The fuse list for your vehicle is located in the luggage compartment behind the right-hand side cover.

I replaced new batteries and starter at first it runs for a day then all a sudden my battery dead so I took to auto zone to charge it so I was thinking maybe it’s alternator.

There is no cranking at all and inot starting. I’ve been confined in the hospital for a week due to a heart attack. Heart failure and edema. Car was parked in the parking lot as soon I get in. No power at all. please.I Needed help so bad. I’ve been working on it since I got out instead of resting but I have to doit I’m raising my 14 years old son since he was 4. When her mom passed away. I’m a single dad nd no relatives at all where we currently staying
