Tim,

That spare socket is for the Lambda sensor heater relay. Most later E30's were CAT ready, but unless you had the CAT fitted, they never fitted the relay of the Lambda sensor.

If you have a feel under the front battery tray (sort of down below the clutch fluid reservoir), you will find the connector for the Lambda sensor with a blanking cap over it.

Ian.
