Yes that color is also used from the front brake light switch and back to a connector to brake pedal switch and then to the brake light.
The other green/red color wire (together with a black and yellow wire ) comes from the headlight dimmer switch
So that wire is used to flash the high beam and is connected to 30/51 on the ignition switch board as Kurt noted

Thanks Kurt and Tommy:schrader7032 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 1:23 pmFrom the BMW CD wiring diagram,...on the other end it was connected to terminal 30/51 on the headlight circuit board.
Now to identify the 30/51 location on the ignition/light switch. The end of the wire is tinned suggesting this is going to a clamp connection.Sure would be great to see a picture with this attached in the bucket.
