When standing in front of the car, it is on the right hand side. Should be black box if OEM. Unclip the hold downs all the way around and voila! There it is. This is for the 525i...don't know which e60 you have.

anyone know if this K&N air filter
is any better than the standard ones? or about the same?
need to change the MAF so its probably a good idea to change this filter too right?

The air intake filter locates on the right side of the engine (530d in the pic though):
