What is this?...

I was working on my 07 MCS, and I noticed this little part on top of the fan motor. I'm not exactly sure what it is. It looks like its a ceramic tube with a metal spring around it, encased in epoxy. What's it for and should I be concerned with how its falling apart?
Thanks for any insight.

It is the low-speed fan resistor.
See the very long thread in "1st Generation MINIs > Stock Problems".
