Yes; it is exactly the same on our E35.
We noticed that the cable connecting the MUX to the Console wasn't a
cross (null modem) one, but a 'straight' one instead.
We built a small 'cross-converter', basically a standard 25-25 serial
cable with female plugs and could then connect the MUX to any standard
serial port.
