Hi could anyone please give me an idea how to replace the glow plug control unit on my 2011 X6 30 E72

Welcome to the Forum

Carried out this job on my brother inlaws 535d touring and his previous 530d which I assume will be the same as your motor.

The inlet manifold has to come off to give access to the control unit so in your that far in you may as well change the Glow plugs as well (if you haven't already) plenty of release agent on the glow plugs and give them time to soak. When we did his 535 we also changed the Glow plug relay to be sure the whole job took us about 4 hrs with coffee biscuits and beer.
