Not totally sure, but I think its in the rear of the car, possibly to help the 50/50 weight distribution.

Open the trunk and remove the panel on the passenger side right behind the taillight. You should find it there. The location pretty universal for all E60, I believe.

Open the BOOT and remove the panel on the DRVERS side right behind the taillight.

Good call. I forgot UK is on the opposite side. Thanks, mate.
, its supposed to be us Irish say those sort of things.Now just need to get the doors off to find and resolve some rattles that are doing my head in.
Does fitting some soundproofing, dynamat etc, help much?
