Mystery part - plastic

I've had this small part in the trunk of my E92 M3 coupe floating around for a few years and just now thought I would ask people on the forum if they have any idea where this guy goes. I'm sure it came from somewhere on the car but for the life of me I can't remember where.

I haven't done much more than oil changes and general maintenance to the car so I'm hoping someone recognizes it. Any help is appreciated, thanks bimmerposters!

Could that be a protective packaging piece from the end of an aftermarket windshield wiper you purchased?

That could be it! I'll check with ECS tuning where I got the wipers and see if they can confirm. Thanks!

Could be mistaken, But I believe this part attaches to the base of the seat rail where the seats slide.
