    So what was the reason for that? Frayed wires going to the trunk?

    My trunk lights work on/off... uh, oh

    My defrost fuse looked similar to that as well, I almost think it's something to do with the fuse element in BMW's fuses. I've never seen the cheapy auto parts store fuses do that.

    Going with a smaller rating would be a waste of a lot of good fuses (as we're obviously very near the rating of the stock 30A fuse). Circuit breakers or glass/ceramic fuses might be a good idea as they won't melt (the element should melt and interrupt the current flow long before the outside of the fuse gets hot enough to ignite the plastic of the rear PDB).
