The BMW E60 represents the fifth generation of the 5 Series, produced from 2003 to 2010. Its predecessor was the E39 chassis. In 2007, the model received a mid-cycle refresh (LCI). In this article, we provide a detailed overview of the fuse box diagrams for the BMW E60/E61 (5 Series; 5th Generation: 520d, 520i, 523i, 525d, 525i, 530d, 530i, 535d, 540i, 545i, 550i, M5) covering the 2003 through 2010 model years.
Here you will find the locations and photographs of the power distribution boxes. The fuses responsible for the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump” circuits are highlighted in bold.
