Mystery part fell out - help identifying it?
Did an oil change today, while cleaning up but before lowering the car, this was on the floor, towards the right passenger side. I have no idea what it is.
The center tube is plastic and clearly broken on one side, which is also threaded. The unbroken side has a slightly larger inside diameter. The piece is about 2" wide overall. Any ideas?

Looks like the water hose fitting. I replaced mine with an aluminum one a while back.

Part #11537541992 It's the coolant hose from the thermostat to the cylinder head. There's an aftermarket aluminum fitting out there. Don't drive the car, get it replaced. |

I'm guessing the hose has been replaced at some point in time, and this fell and got lodged somewhere.. only to find its way free and fall out.
If you ever have to replace it again, go with one of these https://m.ebay.com/itm/BMW-N54-335i-...wAAOSwax5Y220L |
