It looks as if it's located under the right fresh air duct under the hood...

I haven't heard of anyone yet but I did see a black E60 on a flatbed tow-truck yesterday! Three guesses what was wrong with that one!!

There are some more details on the http://www.nhtsa.gov site about the recall.
Defect and Noncompliance Notice
http://152.122.48.12/prepos/files/Artemis/...04V344-2435.pdf

It looks like Bosch manufactures the DME and it effects 1,329 5 series cars. Mine was one of them. With luck like that I should play the lottery tonight!
