how did it snap? who repaired it?
is it a breather hose? if so, its not that critical, but that tape job looks bad.

Fix it up permanently - it's part of the emission control system and fumes will eventually crap up your engine compartment too!

Do you know an exact name for it?

I can't tell which part it is on RealOEM

I think it's #3 in this diagram

Most BMW parts are numbered - remove the tape and look for a part number if you're unsure - or bring the picture to the dealer. If you have less than 80k miles try for an emissions part replacement under the US emissions warranty. Worth a try at the dealer.
