If you have a cluster with the check control display on it, you should find it not too far from the centre of the back of the cluster. It should be brown and will probably be secured in with a white latch.
I've never had a close look at how clusters without check control work.
You can look up the instrument cluster diagram to get an idea of where the code plug is located: www.realoem.com/bmwQuote:

Here's an example of an instrument cluster diagram (if image shows up):http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/o/312.png
