All of that work to replace the bonnet release cable.
Looks like rust to me. No doubt BMW cheaped out on galvanisation thinking "well it won't get rain on it." I remember a mate pulled apart the dash on his 316 and one tube had enough corrosion in one point to require him tearing it all out and replacing.

Austin A40:
"Fuses: The fuse unit is situated adjacent to the voltage regulator on the right-hand side of the engine bulkhead and contains two fuses and two spare. One fuse protects the accessories which are operative only when the ignition is switched on (e.g., stop-lights, fuel gauge, and direction indicators). The other fuse protects those accessories which can be operated independently of the ignition. If a new fuse blows, the cause of the trouble must be found."

Paint all the tubes a nice gloss black and underpigeon could have a new 'retro industrial' look on it without the hassle of putting the dash back in!

Not that bad....no more than a typical Range Rover...just a tad more inconvenient as I no longer have a company car (wasn't using it enough so I gave it back) and the Rangie became a daily driver...He's had so many problems he needs every penny
