Could have been for a kill switch or hard wired radar detector or similar.

Sounds about right .. there's also a little square tiny switch that turns blue and red when pressed :) Must a some sort of third party type device.. idk - anyway thanks for the reply - just curious ... its not doing any harm so I'll just leave it LOL

I wouldn't be so easily satisfied. I'd definitely try pressing it when you're going 88 mph. ?

Only do this if you want to see some serious sh*t.

I had the exact same kind of black rocker switch in my 135i. In my case it was wired to a garage door remote/sender mounted above the rear view mirror. Was actually a very tidy install (apart from the fact whoever installed it ran a +ve AND GND ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BATTERY, rather than taking a feed from elsewhere. The +ve ..maybe I can understand...by why run a GND all the way back to the battery??
