Question What is this??

I have a 2013 bmw 335i xdrive. I saw this hanging off my car earlier today when I peaked out of my basement window, snapped a picture quick before going to work, does anyone know what this is? It's behind my drivers side front wheel. Thank you in advance.

Looks like a suspension level sensor that has snapped off its upper connection and is dangling.

Yep, looks like broken headlight levelling sensor on the suspension.

Looks like the sensor is intact. You need a new regulating arm and control arm clip (I think they are together).
