Rear Bumper Surprise

z4xtreme · 12-04-2011, 08:56 PM

Hey guys,

New z4 owner, and getting ready to take care of my z4. As I was getting ready to swap rear bumper for new one, started doing some research and need some help to replace a few broken parts

So I'm here to be pick your brains:

- On the left side, (red circled area) what is that set of cables called??? Part number or name??

- To the right (square red area) besides the side marker and license plate, what should I expect to see?

What is that multipoint cable on the left for?? should I have the same on the right?? what should I have on the right?

Will post pics when I get this replaced and back on the road, cheers

I believe the wires on the left are the radio antenna. The wires on the right should be for the rear marker light.

Barry97 is correct. The semi-rigid 'net like' looking harness on the left is the FM antenna. The right wire is for the right marker light. There should (better be) be a similar one on the left side.
