The third generation of the popular BMW X5 F15 was introduced in 2013. This series was produced in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and to the present. The general structure of the location of fuses, relays and other electrical circuits is largely the same as the previous e70 model. But the F15 also added new elements. In this material, we present general information about the Bmw X5 F15 relay and fuse boxes with a description of the locations and box diagrams.
