Default Engine Oil Pan "protector cap"

2010 E60 N54 535i

When I opened the access cover for engine oil drain plug, this part fell out:
11137573670

Does any one know where this part goes onto the oil pan?

Found the hole in engine oil pan for the protection cap. Looking through oil drain plug access, towards vehicle rear. Protection cap 11137573670.
