4.8i mysterious hose

That's a vent hose from the transmission. It is supposed to be put under the black plastic bmw cover. This end does not connect to anything.

Thanks flatlander, that's exactly what the dealer said but they didn't have an exact car to compare with at the time I showed them. But you have also confirmed this, thanks so much. Recently spark plugs were changed. If this is supposed to be under the plastic covers then I can just put it back.

Yes, the spark plugs are located under the plastic covers, so when they replaced the plugs the hose ended up in the wrong place.
