My Ride: 2004 525i blue / tan interior
Default what is this part?

This part I found dangling from under the passenger front right corner below the foglight area.
Can't figure out what's it for.
Any help would be appreciated

The pic shows the front right disassembled for left side body repair.
The wire trailing off the bottom of the pic is for the fog light.
The orange dot shows the horn.
Also note the crash sensor along the top of the bumper.
The shot is from a 2008 535i with PDC.
There was no damage to this side or front.
Hope it helps.
