As copied from Owner's Handbook
...and, a diagram for the UK/USA/Euro type showing changes between those

The image below is in .gif format at about resolution 150, and it is interesting to note that it has the differences between UK and USA left bars light switches noted on the schematic.
/6 switch has been replaced by BMW by the /7 switch which has 8 wires, not the original 9.  Replacing that /6 switch?... Information on how to wire that switch is in my misclelectrical.htm article.

If you are interested enough, compare the upper schematic and lower schematics on this page, especially with regards to the light switch.
