BMW X6 E71 E72 crossover combined the best features of BMW SUVs (all-wheel drive, high ground clearance, large wheels, high-torque engine) and a coupe (a strong roof slope at the rear of the car). This series was produced in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. After that, the car received a restyling and is produced to this day under the body marking F16. Our publication provides detailed information about the BMW X6 e71 / 72 fuse boxes and relays with their description of the purpose, fuse box diagrams and photo examples of execution. We will also highlight the fuses responsible for the cigarette lighter.

Passenger compartment
Fuse box is located on the right side, at the feet of the front passenger. For access, we go down under the glove compartment and unscrew the three screws.
We remove the released cover. Raise our head and in the space that appears on top we find a green screw on the right side.
Unscrewing it – the fuse box will fall to the floor (go down).
It will look something like this.

Luggage compartment
Fuse and relay box
Located on the right-hand side under the casing.
There should also be a brochure with an up-to-date description of the fuses for your vehicle. It is marked with a red arrow in the picture.
Check the purpose of the elements with your information in the brochure.
Example of a fuse description table
Dealing with her is easy. For example, fuses 110 and 136 are responsible for the phone, 16 for adjusting the side mirrors, 10, 39 for starting and stopping, etc.
