Starter Relay Location Mystery???

My '05 3.0i X5's DME/E-box fuse panel's layout does not perfectly match any of the diagrams in the Bentley manual, on realoem.com, or in any of the pics I'm finding online. As a result, trying to locate my starter relay has been futile so far. I'm really hoping someone who has checked their starter relay on their '05 might chime in and help me out. I've attached pictures to try and show where the confusion is coming from. The Bentley manual shows 5 relays total in the fuse box. (I've marked them in red in the attached Bentley diagram):

-fuel injector relay
-DME main relay
-Secondary air injection pump relay
-Wiper relay
-Starter relay

For whatever reason, there are only 4 relays in my DME box. (see attached picture with labeled relays on my X5) I've accounted for all of them _except_ the starter relay. In the Bentley and realoem.com diagrams, the starter relay is supposedly mounted in the DME box on the right side, when facing the box from the front of the car. I don't have anything there on mine.

Where in the world is my starter relay??????? Am I missing something completely obvious? Thanks-
