First wierd issue

krhodes1 · 11-14-2011, 02:25 PM

Had to happen - first odd electrical issue on my two-month-old e91.

I blew the 30 amp fuse for the driver's seat today. Could not move the seat, and the seat heat indicators for that side would light up then go out. No big deal, got out the manual, figured out where the fuse box was and started checking fuses. Found the blown one, replaced it, and all was right in the world. Odd though. I'll mention it at the first service, and take it in if it happens again before that.

Now the next question - how much of that good German beer had the engineers who decided on the fuse box arrangement on this car been drinking? I am thinking they did it in the middle of Octoberfest - what a PITA!

No kidding about the design. I was laying head first on passenger seat reclined all the way down with feet towards rear seats.I'm afraid the whole car was designed during a Oktoberfest like putting no oil dip stick, no spare tire and so on.

I have to buy a fuse pick for that.
