Where can I find the 2015 BMW 328i OBD port location?

My check engine light is on, so I borrowed my friend’s OBD2 scanner. Where can I find my 2015 BMW 328i OBD port location?

One of the most convenient uses for an OBD2 scanner is demystifying what that mysterious
check engine light
means. You can find your 2015
BMW 328i
OBD port location on the lower portion of your dashboard on the driver’s side. It’s below the trunk release button.
The 2015
BMW
328i’s OBD port is located relatively low to the ground, and it’s covered by a panel to protect it from debris, which makes it easy to miss. But the panel itself is conveniently labeled “OBD.”
The OBD2 scanner plugs into the OBD port and can provide you with error codes for any detected problems. If those error codes trace back to an issue you can fix yourself, you avoided an unnecessary expense at the auto shop. Or, it could confirm your car has a problem that does require a mechanic’s attention.
That said, not all OBD2 scanners work the same way, so if you haven’t already, you’ll want to confirm with your friend how theirs works to avoid accidentally damaging it.
As you look after your BMW’s maintenance and
repair needs
, it’s also worth taking another look at its
car insurance
policy to confirm it’s giving your vehicle the protection it needs.
