In other similar models, BMW uses a purple wire with a red stripe. I cannot get access to my wiring diagram software, so I can not verify for you. However, give that a look. Search for a wiring block of purple/red wires, possibly near the tail lights. Check it with a voltmeter, and you will be in business.
