Hi
Could anyone help me with locating the gm5 module as I've taken the glove box off and the lid underneath it and still can't find it. one website says it should be inside where the footwell light is
 
I've just googled 'bmw e85 gm5 module'
Then selected images
That I'll give you an idea of what the module looks like
 
Don't know if it's much help but in the E46 it was located in the boot, on the off side, underneath the boot lining near the wheel arch. I don't know if it's there in the zed but maybe worth a look if you can't find it.
 
If you remove the piece of plastic that has the footwell light in it on the passenger side then look upwards from the footwell you should see it. It then fairly easy to remove. My father in laws car had a problem with the central locking which was resolved by sending the unit of to be fixed and also sometimes would show a battery issue after starting , which also went away.
 
Holy crap this thing is not easy to remove lol. Managed to get one of the cables out. Other two. One I can barely get to. The other, the one with the slidey mech. Is kind of stuck half way so I can't undo that.

Forget how hard it is to get under there without the passenger door open! Tell me your secrets
