The ICM (electronic control module) is in the trunk under the spare wheel and if it gets wet it can malfunction or stop working all together......it can and should be relocated when you get a chance
Correct me if I am wrong the ICM is under the passenger side micro filter.

The device under the spare wheel in the trunk is the MBM

Never heard of an ICM. This is an E60. I am pretty sure I know all the modules and ECU's on this car and it's sister chassis'
I would like someone to show me what info they have on it...and it doesn't count if it's not an E60, E90, E65

THe white box under the spare is an MPM..,..Micro Power Module.

I am not an expert, I am as green as can be with the E60 and automobiles in general.

I was spelled it wrong, not the ICM but ISM. I'll post links in case someone else wants to know more about it.

RealOEM.com * BMW E60 530i Integrated supply module

BMW TIS - 12 52 005 Removing and installing/replacing integrated supply module (N62)

Google Image Search

I also ordered one cheap on ebay. I will see if this fixes it. It could still be the starter however.

After the investigation i don't believe it is your starter. I think you are on the right path.

I just posted in this thread since it is discussing the same item I am looking to replace. However I cannot find the ISM?

Based on the diagram linked in the forums here...

A6009, X60095, X60094, X60093, X60092, X60091



It looks like my ISM has been relocated, or I don't know what I am looking at...

Thank for you the lesson. There is no ICM in an E60. We cannot just start making up our own acronyms here. I think what you're referring to is the MPM since you mention this "ICM" behing under the spare wheel.

Just for clarification. If one had said ISM, I know what it is. If one would have said MPM i know what it is and it is located in the trunk. I would love to find an E60 that doesn't have the MPM already relocated. This was a well-known issue.
As for the ISM, go to the E-BOX.

I went to the E-BOX as you see. Can you confirm the 530i has the ISM?
