Any idea what this is suppose to be attached to. To be fair it looks like a breather pipe of sorts???

Looks like the breather/venting pipe that slots into the battery

    Some E89s were allegedly fitted with non AGM batteries which require a vent hence the tube…

    Some AGM batteries do have an emergency vent which uses that tube.

    Some AGM batteries don’t have a vent, that can be plumbed, so that pipe becomes redundant
    We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
