This is your picture and as you can see it looks just like my, but your ac compressor and shroud are together. You need to put the shroud back in its bracket.
upallnight is right about the function of the shroud, I was trying to be funny or that is what I believe to be the main reason for it to be there.

Where did you find it? It looks like some kind of a patch or plug, but isn't immediately obvious what it is.

here's the other side. long story short, it "fell" from inside the bottom of the dirt cover as i removed it from the undercarriage. @upallnight, not "taken," just a slave to ideals.

lol...trick question? it's an e53 (3.0 2002 x5). the reason i took the cover off was (i thought) to change the "lower radiator hose," which the dealer wanted some ridiculou$ amount for; seemed straightforward enough to give it a shot.
i earlier got a low coolant level message and ssaw the temp rising. cut the car off, added distilled water. next a.m. seemed distilled water was on garage floor. haven't driven it while i ordered the coolant, and the hose, and the oring (and the floor jack, and the jack stands  ) welp, hm. erg. i was expecting a dangling hose. heater doesn't seem to be working btw. related symptom? but not exactly sure as i haven't run the machine long enough to tell if it just needed "warmed up."

Knowing that you have a 3.0i (aka M54B30) engine helps. The engines have different physical layouts, obviously, but more importantly, we all have different experiences with our E53's and where I may be able to help with your M54, I wouldn't be much help with an N62...
You did the best thing shutting her off when you saw the temp climb. These M54's HATE high temps... quickest way to a blown head gasket, or worse...

Could it be remains of a dust cap from one on the serpentine belt pulleys? Can you see if any of them are missing?
