Whilst refitting my headlights last night i noticed this behind the nearside headlight, not connected up and nothing obvious where it should be, so I was wondering if any of you guys & gals might recognize what its for?

The second photo shows its tied into the loom with the horn cabling on...

That’s for the aircon fan. Plugs in from underneath.

Fair enough - I don't have air con, so that would make sense that it has no where to go...

Cheers!

As far as I know all z3 had the same wiring loom, hence why there are spare connections for items that your car hasn’t been installed with, as in this case the air con.

Yes that is right z3 has a central wiring loom so all extras are pretty much plug and play for example you can retrofit things like an obc or cruise control and all you need is the various parts the you fit and plug into the multi plugs already there.

Largely true. And certainly true when it comes to optional extras like air con.

But there are variations for more major reasons. A car with DSC has a different loom for instance.

Also variations when it comes to audio equipment from the factory as I have sadly discovered
