BMW 3: Designation and identification
Designation of electrical machines
The electrical machine designation is used in the technical documentation for
clear identification of
the electrical machine. However, the identification of the electrical machine is
relevant for Service.
Identification of the electrical machine
The electrical machines have an identification to ensure clear identification
and classification. This
identification is also necessary for approval by government authorities. The
identification of the
electrical machines is equivalent to the identification of the combustion
engines. The serial number
of the electrical machine can be found under the electrical machine
identification on the electrical
machine. This consecutive number, in conjunction with the identification,
permits clear identification of
each individual electrical machine.


The identification of the electrical machine in a G20 PHEV is as follows:
GC1P25A.

The fuses are located at different places in the
vehicle.
Safety information
Warning
Incorrect and repaired fuses can overload electrical
lines and components. There is a risk of
fire. Never attempt to repair a blown fuse. Do
not replace a nonworking fuse with a substitute
