My Dealer said the same thing!
My Dealer - Princeton BMW was doing some other warranty work on the car and I mentioned the lack of power in the arm rest and ashtray 12v ports.
He said oh it's prob a fuse. When I got the car back I had a bill for 1/2 hour of labor - $45, and $1.19 for parts (the fuse). Considering the $1700 of warranty work they just did I paid it and left without arguing, figured it was better to maintain a decent relationship with my SA than get into an argument with him over a $50 charge.
I don't remember the exact moment mine blew, but I had one of those dual USB chargers for my cell phone. Apparently the 3.1 Amps it can put out is too much for the F10 fuse.
Take care,
George
