God have mercy on your soul... (if you need to change a fuse)

...if you need to change a fuse.

The fuse box is behind the glove box.
You have to unhinge the glove box door and let it drop completely. It's not an extremely difficult thing to do, ONCE YOU KNOW HOW. For first timers, it's a killer. I spent 20 mins before I could figure it out.
Then comes the tricky part.
The fuses are all the way in, attached to the firewall. You can see it through a small opening, but you'll need a flash light.
Unless you have the hands of a 5 year old, sticking your hand through that small opening completely blocks your vision of the fuses.
So basically you have to make a mental image of where the fuse that you want to access is, then stick your hand in there and "guess".
Oh, if you don't grasp it right, it falls in the cracks and you lose the fuse and/or the tool that you need to pull the fuse.
WTF BMW.
