Concerned with parts under the hood...

[JLD]

Hey all, Im so glad I found this forum, its great! Just today I fixed my twisted passenger seat thats been bugging me for awhile...

Some info about me; Im 18 and just got my license about 8 months ago.
My mom bought a 535i back in '91 and has been driving it for about 11 years, she didnt feel she had to buy a new car for so many years because the 535i never gave her any major problems and was very reliable. Now we have a larger family so she drives an SUV. lol, she is still very attached to the 535 so instead of selling it she gave to me she told me my car should last another 150k, lol I wouldnt have to buy a car for a verrrryyy long time lol. ok im rambling....

a couple days ago I was putting washer fluid in the tank and decided to look around the engine bay and 1)i find this loose cable that seems to come out from where you put the coolant, doesnt lead to anything, just dangles(pic attached, i drew a red line on the cable)
2)around the drivers side headlight there are 2 tubes that look like they are supposed to connect, are they?(pic attached)
are these things normal?? or should i take the car to the mechanic.
btw, the car drives great and im not getting any warning messages.
thanks!!
