Hit the FAQ, you will find a link to wiring diagrams for the entire car.

"rec. fresh select motor" sounds like part of the HVAC system, specifically, the motor that toggles between fresh and recycled air.

Not knowing this points up a problem...you need a fairly good grasp of the harness before you can "weed out the crap" without problems. It's not hard if you approach it in sections but ultimately you'll need a good overview at least.

Then you need to define "function".

It's also worth noting that some of the wiring usually considered to be "junk/crap" can be easily repurposed to become "useful/integrated".
The AAS system for example, can be quite handy.

Point being, just because you have no current use for some circuits (to be determined after you define "functional") doesn't mean you might not in the future.

To function such as all luxury that the car comes with originally such as radio cigarette lighter glovebox light all those wires and if possible the plug code(you know like f-51) like this I could pinpoint on the fsm what it is exactly

I get u that is why I had already thought about that and was going to shorten those wires so when or if I need them I could jus crimp another wire to it but that's only on certain ones I had also thought about adding male & female connectors to the ends of the chopped wires so like that I can jus plug the missing connection back to how it was

If you haven't decided by now, I wouldn't advise it.

So you're talking about already hidden wires that you don't need? I figured you were more concerned with engine bay stuff. And clokker was probably leaning towards, what have you/do you plan on removing from the engine compartment?
I guess I'm just confused as to why youre removing wires in the first place if not for a shaved/tucked bay look.

Well that's what I'm going for since the previous owner thought it was a good idea to extend some of the wires and cut harnesses and not cut the extra wire I'll post later what I have removed so far

Nice and tucked so far I deleted some of the check connector by the ign coil then by the main fuse box I got rid of some plugs there I also rewired my injectors,knock sensor and tps In the bay I'm not sure but I believe it's not much to remove but when under the dash there's so many wires that had been already cut such as the cigarette lighter and radio and for some dumb reason the center dash panel it's harness was rewired and extended but not finished

They most likely had something else installed that they took out later. Or tried to install something and it didnt work so they had to patch it back together.

Was the engine swapped that all of these things are extended? I guess you just need to figure out what is "extra."

dude go wireless! i'm not even kidding, the newer BMW motorcycles are wireless, apparently.

as an aside you can have the conversation with the police about why you couldn't signal for the turn because googles stock price was down that day

I must say that my first thought upon reading this was that someone capable of doing the work wouldn't ask this question.
