Identify a wire in the engine bay plz (E90 320D)

tadaska · 11-02-2016, 12:02 PM

Could some one tell me what is that wire with the connector on the end? Also what is the purpose of the bracket in the other red circle?

Optional flux capacitor?

Pretty sure its the plug for the car alarm sensor which should be mounted on the bracket. The sensor is missing.

What is flux capacitor? Google says it is some time travel thingy?...

What kind of sensor is it? Does it sense if the bonnet is open?

Looks like bonnet open sensor, sans sensor.

Watch 'Back to the Future'

Alarm sensor seems on the right track

Too bad it's not a flux capacitor, it would have come in handy in the mornings when I am late for work.
