Unidentified BMW Plug (not OBD) any ideas?

Hi,

As the title suggests, I found this BMW plug in the boot of the 2012 E92 I just bought and am curious what it is.

It's not for the OBD as it's square but I haven't found anywhere else for it to go.

There are some BMW markings on it but no part number.

Anyone got any ideas??

Looks like a part from a Racechip setup. I have seen a similar plug for other versions of the racechip install, it's the deactivation plug to go back to stock.

Do you know where it plugs into so I can check it out? Somewhere in the engine by I suppose haha I'll have a look around soon anyway.

Yeah you're right, it looks identical to the deactivation plug in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6rLGURBIVY
