I just found out the wire was disconnected.
It looks like a ground wiring, but no clue what it does.

Prevents irregular current flow through the hinges that causes corrosion and radio static.

What Doug said. Exactly, repair it ASAP. Just to be safe

It is just a wire cable replacement, correct?
I gotta look for the part number.

Can someone help with identifying part number? I was never good at browsing the realoem site..
My car is 2012 X3 3.5i, Sports M package, thank you in advance.

Last 7 of the vin and I'll look it up.

But you can just use a 10g piece of wire and end terminals.

Here I looked it up on my 2011 X3 35i same part... Number 14

FYI, ECS Tuning has it for the best price I could find ...like $37

Oh wow, thank you so much.
