Hi - I wonder if the collective forum knowledge can identify this item please?
I found it on the back seat of my X5 a few weeks ago - and have no idea what it is.
The car had just come back from BMW crash repair centre following major rework - I have no idea whether the item is connected to the car being there or not
So I thought I'd ask the forum folk - surely someone recognises what it is..?
To me it looks like it transfers rotational motion - i.e. there is a square hole at the top presumably for something to locate in and there is a slot at the bottom - maybe to slot into something else...?
But why the red marker? - Are there other colours?
Then I thought maybe it was a cartridge of some sort - I haven't opened it but it looks like it might be an ink cartridge or similar - but there is no hole anywhere for any contents - if there are any - to come out of....
I have put more photos on this web page - What's this? - Photo Quiz
Thanks in advance
regards
Mike W
