Where is the windshield wiper relay located in the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Windshield wipers

If the windshield wipers of our BMW 3 Series have suddenly stopped working, we can first check the status of the respective relay whose position is indicated in this video. As shown, it is located inside the cabin, precisely behind the passenger glove box. To access it, simply open the glove box and remove the bottom panel. The relay in question is the first one at the top left, looking at the box from the front. If faulty, make sure to replace it with a replacement of equivalent specifications and operate with the vehicle turned off.
