The sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series was introduced in November 2009. Designations include F10 for the sedan, F11 for the Touring (station wagon), and F07 for the Gran Turismo (fastback/liftback). Externally, the vehicle aligns with BMW’s established corporate design language and shares its platform with the 7 Series (F01). Over its production lifecycle, it received one major facelift (LCI). This article provides detailed fuse box diagrams and circuit assignments for the BMW F10 / F11 / F07 (5 Series, 6th Gen: 518d, 520d, 520i, 523i, 525d, 528i, 530d, 530i, 535d, 535i, 550i, M5, ActiveHybrid) for model years 2009 through 2017.
Below you will find the locations, diagrams, and photographs of the power distribution boxes. Fuses for the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump” are highlighted in bold.
