This must have been an Aux retrofit and its been installed in a non standard location. It should have been in the glove box just under the torch light.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Mine is located in the little compartment/opening above the ashtray.

Funny, I was curious about this too. The 07 550i's I've seen all have the aux in the back of the armrest facing the back seat 
which is not a very useful location for the driver.

That was ths standard location for the factory fitted aux before the LCI which moved it into the armrest compartment.
It was only moved in to the arm rest cubby hole of the car came with 6FL usb/audio interface(don't think that became standard but may be wrong). Otherwise its still in the same old place in the back between the front seats.

Nowhere I think.
That was funny.I have an 07 530, and like a few people above mine is in the back of the arm rest, which is a silly spot for it IMO. They got it right with LCI 5's
