What’s this wire on top of my exhaust tips?
New 23’ X7 m60 here. Only 2000 miles.
As I walked up to my car today, I noticed this wiring is hanging on top of my exhaust tips. As the wire is touching the tip, the wiring wrap already burned a little. I was thinking maybe it detached from somewhere, but the inside surround was all covered and sealed. Taking it to the dealership tomorrow. Sigh.

Mine is an X7 xDrive40i and I don't see any wires there. I am wondering if the small loop attached to the wire on the right side of the pipe is used to attach the wire somewhere above the pipe. If so, it might be an easy fix if you can get it above what appears to be the surrounding metal shield.

Just update on this:
Car came back from dealership now, the wire is not visible anymore. Apparently someone at the factory who installed this didn’t tuck the wire in! Lucky I caught it before it melts to cause more damage. But this makes me question BMW’s quality and fit and finish. Hopefully no more problems during warranty, I buy new cars every two years trying to avoid having to deal with this kind of stuffs.
