The low speed side of that relay is the most common failure point in this system. Usually you can still hear the relay click, but the contact points are burned away.
I am not familiar with the Z3 fuse box, but the the first step in the diagnosis of that circuit is to pull the wire off the temperature sensor in the radiator. Use a paper clip to jumper from the high and low speed wires to the ground wire (ground is usually brown on BMWs). You will probably hear the relay click and the fan may or may not come on for either speed. If it clicks but the fan does not come on, and you know the fan works, just follow the sound of that click and replace the relay.
If the relay does not click, it may still be a relay problem, but check your fuses before replacing the relay..
