The BMW 6 Series is an executive coupe. Production of this model began in 1976. The primary competitors for this series are the Jaguar XK family of vehicles. The second generation of the BMW 6 Series consists of the E63 (coupe) and E64 (convertible) chassis. This generation was produced from 2003 to 2010. In this article, we will examine the fuse box diagrams for the BMW E63/E64 (6 Series, 2nd generation: 630i, 635d, 645i, 650i, M6) for model years 2003 through 2010.
Here you will find the locations and photographs of the power distribution boxes. The fuses protecting the "Cigarette Lighter" and "Fuel Pump" circuits are highlighted in bold.
Luggage Compartment
The power distribution box is located beneath the trim panel on the right side.
