My pics did not load because the file sizes are too large.. lesson learned.

Are you referring to the squid wire dangling free on the firewall side of the intake manifold ? That was a problem I encountered in my case. The lead goes to the Change Over Valve on the bottom of the Intake Manifold.

The car will run smooth without it connected, and you can also make this connection with the manifold in place, you just cannot see it.

Google: BMW 318i change over valve location top of the webpage, click on the left image and follow the arrows. Pics courtesy Pelican Parts.
