Not specifying what vehicle in your questions leaves us needing to know more. But jump over to www.e38.org/e28 and get the ETM middle of the left column, electrical, for your vehicle.

On my car it is one of the hanging relays on the outside of the fuse box, verify with wire color codes cause sometimes the can be moved a spot or two from new install.

I assumed posting on the M5 board would narrow down, sorry for that. This is for a M5

It has been a while, but I think the fuel pump relay is in the glove box near the ECU. Also, check the fuse box in the engine bay (driver's side). It is a large relay. Sorry to not have concrete info at the moment.
