You mean RDC? RDC/TPMS module is in the rear quarter panel above the battery.

RDS is Radio Data System- it's not a module.

I found it guys, it's on the driver side behind the front wheel. Directly under where your left foot rest is.

Why are you calling that RDS? BMW calls that the RDC antenna. That's probably why you didn't get any replies.

I'm getting a code for front left so it may not be the RDC antenna after all (I meant to say RDC in the original post).
I checked the module and the RDC antenna and they look fine, no dirt or corrosion at all.
Will update this weekend, thanks for the replies.

Codes

I'm getting the same codes even after clearing them and swapping the left and right TPMS signal sending unit (square box in the wheel well).

It was behind my rear passenger side tire. Remove the aluminum dirt shield and it's plugged in right there. No need to jack up the car, just lay down behind tire with two sockets. 2011 E92

Mine is 2008 and it is not on the driver's side under the belly-pan, nor near the mufflers/under the alum shield.

I may try checking the front driver's wheel next.

Mine was 2008 and it was under the driver side behind the front wheel.
