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.

the location in the 4cyl e36's is different than the 6cyl cars

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

Nearside of car, rear of engine bay, mounted to the side of the engine bay.
