I don't have the Bentley manual to hand so can't give you the relay number but if you have a problem that you think may be related to the heater, then look at the hedgehog resistor (FSR) as the first thing to eliminate as a problem.  I can't think of too many heater related issues on the e39 that were reported here that didn't involve the FSR.
Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Prev:
e46 328i SE Touring, 330Ci, 318Ci.
e39 523i SE.
e36 325i Coupe *2, 323i SE, 316iSE.
e30 325iSE 2dr, 320i Conv, 320i 2dr, 316i.

I picked up my '01 525i recently and it had an overnight battery drain problem too.

My local auto electrictian said 'hedgehog', very common it seems. He replaced it for about £90 fitted. No problems since
