2011 bmw x3 28i Starter replacement issue

txreinvestment · 12-18-2023, 10:31 AM

Hello,

I'm working on removing and replacing my starter. I'm stuck on last remaining part before getting to the starter. There is a thin wire that goes in between the intake manifold. It connects to just type of hub. Does anyone have any tips on how to move forward? I have attached photos to reference. The thin line is highlighted and photo taken earlier in the process. As far as I know, I just need to somehow disconnect that wire and the fuel line and the manifold will be free. Please help
