Where does this plastic plug go?

Lone Wolf Pack · 11-14-2020, 10:36 AM

Hey folks,
Have a 2011 M3. Made a rookie mistake not cataloging the parts I removed when taking out my battery. When I replaced the battery, I noticed two small parts left that I can't for the life of me figure out where they go. A small black rubber plug and a small metal washer.

Was hoping some one would recognize these. I'm attaching pictures. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I think it's the grommet for the ventilation tube... it's been a while.

Ok, just an update here. I found where the rubber plug came from. It wasn't anything I removed, but rather fell out from under the trunk lining that covers the battery. At the bottom of this lining there are 3 plugs that cushion the lining when it sits on top of that metal bracket on top of the battery.

Now for the metal washer. Still trying to figure out where it goes.
