It looks like some sort of thermo couple.
Where does the copper pipe go? Is there an aftermarket electric cooling fan on your car? |

Hi Nick, The copper wire runs away to the right, it looks as though it goes behind the centre console (below the radio). I've had the car since it was 18 months old (19K miles) and am not aware of any additions added to it. Brian Edited by panrixx |

Does it do anything?
stereo fader perhaps? Its the thin copper pipe that makes me think it is a thermostat. Does your car have retro fitted aircon? |

Looks aftermarket from the blue female spade connectors that look like there are plugged into it.

Who else have you asked in the 20 years you've had the car? |

Its definitely aftermarket. I have owned 5 sixes and never had one with anything like that fitted.
If you let a BMW spares department have the chassis number, they should be able to print off a list of original equipment. That may help. |
