Opened up the left panel in the trunk and saw these two things. The one with the slats in the background I take it is the amp for the sound system?

What about the other one on the left, with the black wire that has the purple plug on it?

you are right about the amp.
don't know the other thing, but its not Bluetooth (as I don't have it on mine).
maybe satellite radio? or BMW assist?

I think you are correct and it's the Sat radio.

I do have Sat radio, so maybe you're right. I could unplug the purple connector and find out... :-)

I wasn't sure if it might have been the hard drive for the music collection (where is that?) or for the NAV, in case I have the HD system (I don't know if I have a HD or a DVD one), so any tips on where these two are located would be good too!

I think since your car is LCI its HD and that sits behind the centre console, i.e. behind and under the CD slot. But not 100% on that.
