A temporary switch to cut connection to the battery during shipping.. so it is'nt drained when it gets to Canada.. the switch have been removed before the car was delivered to the first owner.

these options are on most BMW's shipped abroad, I've never seen an E53 sheet without both the protection package and the switch. I think it's standard procedure for export cars. Finn is 100% right on this.
