Remove the front black plastic cover and its right underneath. 
On 2004+ 3.0D the EGR system also has a water radiator to cool down the exhaust gases before they enter the inlet manifold  |
I'm fairly sure my 2002 diesel doesn't have an EGR, if I put my chassis number into realoem it doesn't list it, but it does list it on later years.
Do you have a photo of the EGR system so that I can see exactly what I'm looking for?
BMW does seem to have various emission controls that aren't applied to some years of manufacture - for example, the use of swirl flaps (which are notorious for breaking and destroying engines), these are fitted to most, but not all 3.0 diesel engines - again, my year doesn't seem to have them but an equivalent year 5 series 3.0 diesel does. Go figure
