I ran my wire under the passenger rear seat and then down the passenger door molding, up and behind the glovebox and then into the console area behind the head unit where it plugs into.

Hardest part for me was finding space for all the jumper harnesses and power relay that have to fit behind the head unit. BMW does not leave any spare room in the dash like on other cars I've owned.

Same for me. I purchased this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to fish the wire through the boot. hpc3 is right, there's very little room to stuff the wiring harness behind the head unit. Good luck.
