I've had two cars up on the ramp today. First a 325 touring, and then a 320 touring, and can asure you the oil pressure switch should be just below the oil filter on both cars.
Maybe someones removed it and fitted a blanking plug. Hopefully because it was leaking, and not because the oil light was on all the time!
