Wire harness wrap/tape
Does anyone know where to source the thin orange tape used to wrap the wire harness leading to the BCM?

No, it is a semi-transparent, relatively thin, orange plastic tape. I’ll take a picture and post it shortly.

Any reason standard electrical tape won’t work?

living in south Mississippi, the inside of a vehicle gets super hot. Just in case I have to open it up again, I would like to use something similar to the OEM tape as it doesn’t get gummy when exposed to high heat.

Use 3M Super 33 or Super 88 electrical tape. It does not get gummy and is very stretchy. Best electrical tape made. I have never found the thin, lightly gummed tapes used to wrap wiring harnesses.

The black fuzzy tape above in the upper third of your photo and used on most of the interior harnesses is Tesa Tape. amazon.com/Tesa-Fleece-Interior-Harness-Mercedes/dp/B00NN6B9R6

Tessa makes a high temp version of the cloth tape. My guess is that it wouldn’t get gummy
