[Help] 2008 BMW 3281 fuses

My daughter has a 2008 BMW 3281 that the aux 12 volts receptacles does not work. I need to check the fuses. I found out where the fuses and which fuses to check. They are behind the glove box. I looked by google search and how to remove the glove but could not find any for the 328i only the 3 series but Google showed different ways.
Would any one have a link or know how to remove the glove box?

According to my 2010 328i owners manual, the fuse box is IN the glove box. There's a cover at the back of the glove box that's secured by a couple of thumbscrews. No mention of any need to remove the glove box.

It's cold and dark out there otherwise I'd go and take a look.... but this seems accurate to me: »www.carcarekiosk.com/vid ··· /replace

Not to mean or any thing I found that out but when I look in the glove box I do see the 2 tabs. It gray like carpet all around it. I'll double check over the week end or when the car here in the daylight and not raining

Turn the 2 tabs - my Bentley book that goes to 2005 3 series shows the exact same thing as the video.

It's accurate for my car at least -- I had '12v socket failure' when a cheap phone adapter fell apart and left metal bits in the socket, shorting out the power and blowing a fuse. So at that point I located the fuse panel...

I just went and checked mine viisually by looking in the glove box (didn't hang around and actually undo the tabs though): the cover seems to do double duty as the rear of the glove box. It's definitely hard grey plastic, not the 'carpet' that is elsewhere.

I'll check again when I can look at in the daylight instead of twilight.
