If you are talking about the upper right corner of the lower grille opening, and the sensor looks like a little cone, then that's the outside air temp sensor for your trip computer.

it looks more like a battery it is round and flat about 2 inches in diameter

Ahh, my M3 has one of those, it's the temperature sensor for the heated windshield washer nozzles or something. But my Z3 doesn't have one.
