yesterday I did donut on my 97 M3, and then i noticed that the instrument clusters lights, interior lights, and all right side side lights (corner, tail, etc) all went out, then i checked the fuse box and found out fuse #37 was burnt, well that's the one it says it's responsible for all these lights, but as soon as i plug in a new one, it keeps burning....... now my car is running without that fuse, i just have no idea what's going on!!! GUYS, Any ideas????

Sorry, if this is too obvious.
Whatever caused the fuse to pop (probably a shorted wire somewhere) is still doing it. By all means DO NOT replace the fuse with a larger one... You'll get fire.
Take your car to a place that is really good with auto electrical. ...Maybe a high end car audio dealer. They will probably have a device called a 'time domain reflectometer' that would help them find the short.
Or if you want to do this yourself, trace that wire coming out of the fuse box to everywhere it goes. (difficult) Somewhere along the line, you'll find that the wire is being pinched and shorting out.

just before i brought it to dealer, i traced the wire myself from the fuse box and found out that the wires responsible for angel rings inside the headlight assembly on the passenger side had burnt and melted and got stuck together, it almost melted the low beam wire as well, but luckily that thing has 1 year warranty and i got it exchanged for free.Comment
