Possibly near where a handbrake lever should be......as centrally mounted as possible?

It seems to be the most favoured location i'm thinking under the centre console

Yes as mentioned it's under the centre console near the handbrake and has a optical fibre connection instead of normal wiring.

Towards the front of the handbrake is the air bag, back is just carpet with steel body underneath i'm stuck on where this thing is. Under the seats nothing is visible except two yellow boxes one under each seat that i take to be something else not this sensor as their identical i'm looking for 1 of something. Any ideas where to look next ?

Download ISTA - this is the BMW workshop diagnostic system that also has all the repair procedures - you should be able to get the location easily from that
