My 328's is under the driver seat (under the car of course).  It's under a cover.  I understand some E36's have it in the engine compartment.  I think those are early sixes though.

E30 is on the left hand side right in front of the rear wheel/subframe. I dunno if the e36 is the same or not.

Yeah, should be just under the fusebox in the engine bay, assuming the E36 fusebox is in the same place :D Nearside of car, rear of engine bay, mounted to the side of the engine bay.
