I have a new to me 2015 640i convertible. I am getting no power from the 12v outlets and USB. My assumption at this stage is that this is a blown fuse - everything else works perfectly. Having had many BMWs in the past, I knew where to find the fuse box(es), and I also looked this up in the manual (eg I did RTFM). However, the fuse map is given symbolically, with no words whatsoever, and I can't work out which one corresponds to the item(s) in question. I suppose I could pull them ALL looking for a blown one, but that seems like asking for more trouble than it's worth... Surely this is written down in words somewhere? I'll even take German; probably Google Translate is good enough to get through this problem...
My older 2008 650i has the same symbolic diagram.... not helpful. My fuse location I found at this site, https://www.carknowledge.info/bmw-6-series-e63-e64-2004-2010-fuse-box-diagram/
You can probably select your year model.... hope it helps.
Unfortunately that site apparently does not have 6-series later than 2010. But thanks, as it could well have solved my problem in a flash. Googling, I definitely found lots of similar complaints about the symbolic map. I can't believe that they haven't addressed this in 9+ years. I'm no DIY expert, but even I can trivially fix a blown fuse... This appears to be so top-secret that I'll actually have to take it in to get a fuse changed...

Wish I would have refered you to Timm in the first place!
He is amazing... and from the old country to boot!
Just an additional FYI to help those figure out which symbol represents the 12 volt (cig lighter) fuse icon...see pic below (from I believe the f10 5 series) and look for the icon that has "lighter" listed. I'm not sure why BMW thought this would be easier to figure out without giving us a hint for the first few iterations of BMW models by listing text below ALL of the icons when they switched over to this type of fuse index. I will say that once you get accustomed to it...most of the icons used on the fuse index are also printed on many of the buttons/switches:
{the fuse nbrs in the pic below do not relate to the e63/e64...but the icons used on the fuse index will be the same}
