This plug is dangling under the AFM, and is taped to the loom for the AFM as you can see.

I have had the AFM off this morning and cannot see anywhere where it may plug into? :?

Any ideas guys?

funny
i dicovered one of these plugs on my 318is the other day in the same place
i also notice that the manifold seems to have blanks outputs of the top of each branch for some sort of exhaust gas recirculating system
i imagine there must be the possibility of a different sytstem on the 318is
very interested to know how...
