Need some help locating firewall access

[Gunner 0]

Have a E46 318i and looking to feed a wire from the interior of the car to the engine bay. On the internet I see that they use the existing holes from behind the glove box that seems to appear in an open space in the engine bay but I've search around for mine and I can't find the same place. Is it easier to feed from inside the car cabin to the engine back or vice versa? cheers
