    Calling all experts! Mystery part identification needed!

    Hi all,

    I've perused the forums for a while but never joined since I didn't have a BMW. I recently took ownership of a (new to me) 2016 428i not too long ago and I figured it was time. When I was cleaning the car I found a mystery part in the glove box. Please see the pictures attached.

    Can anyone tell me where it belongs? I've googled the part numbers and even tried google image search but I didn't turn up any meaningful results.

    Here's a dropbox link that has all the pictures
    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d2nqb0yyo...A24N0MJla?dl=0

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The part number? that is on the part is:
    7398775 L
    There is also a small BMW logo next to the part number with the numbers 02 to the left of it.

    Those are 5 pretty dark pics without much detail visible.

    I was going to say the same thing. It's pretty hard to see.

    Please take a few photos in better lighting, perhaps outdoors in the sun.

    Is part number is actually 7598775.

    Full part number then would be 61 21 7598775.

    I suspect what you're looking at is a broken handle off a car battery.
    Could be a good thing if it means you have a new battery, otherwise not sure.

    Check your battery and see if there is a handle missing?

    Photo to show the handles here:
