Blue temp sensor location - 316i

Hey guys, probably a silly question but can anyone confirm the location of the blue temp sensor on a 316i?

I thnk its under the air intake pipe on the engine in a slightly awkward small gap (not very technical heh) but just hoping someone can confirm it for me?

Thanks
