BMW 7 Series 3 years old. Has tw lights in the boot. One under the

If it's blowing a fuse there's a short somewhere. No mystery about that.
You just gotta find it. And that's no fun. I'd start by removing the
lamps so there's zero load, then replacing the fuse with a resistor, and
monitoring the voltage on its output. Disconnecting bits where accessible
will show you when the short goes away.
It might even be one of lamps (bulbs)
