Could also be Relay No2 on the rear board.  There are 6 in all though not all are used.  Far left is No1 and may be empty.

If it's neither of those (fuse or relay) then perhaps start looking at the elements.  Are you getting an indicator showing at the front?

Sometime BMW have more than one fuse feeding a circuit/system so it may be worth checking the front board too.  That is helpfully located above the glovebox in the front passenger dash.  Being a contortionist is a help when looking at that board.... :'(

Stick it in a photoshare in the same way as adding a piccie and load into your sig.......that's how my Twin Power Turbo one is done. 

I had to edit it down coz Sanj said it was stupidly large when first uploaded.  :-[

Adding this tip for siphoning in case you don`t have a pump

You will need a container such as a bucket and about 1 metre of hose , maybe more and possibly an assistant
With the hose vertical block lowest end  then fill hose with water . Block top end with  finger ( optional but wise ) and quickly put top end into tank ensuring it goes deep into the fluid within the tank then quickly unblock lowest end and this will siphon .
The lowest end must be lower than the fluid level in the tank for this to work .
