all joking aside I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a safety catch in the event your hood were to fly off in the general direction of the windshield...
Appearantly you should feel REALLY safe considering they work so well...lolLast edited by BMWguy; 02-24-2006, 05:31 PM.Comment

That cable is just an extra ground. Supposedly if it wasnt attached people thought you got extra radio noise. You don't need it. Don't worry about it.

maybe it prevents static from dirt and such skimming across your hood while driving, or from the hoodliner.Comment

It's there to help with radio noise, I've had cars with and without it- and have not noticed a difference.
Rest assured though, that if BMW felt it necessary to spend the time + money to put it there- they must have come across a reason for it.... :)
