Metal piece found on lawn - BMW?

Hi, i found this piece on the grass where the X1 sometimes gets parked. It looks to be fairly new as the break (pictured) still has a bit of shine to it. I have looked under the car but can't see any obvious problems.

Long shot I know, but does anyone recognise it as off the car please?

Thanks

Looks more like part of a bike rack or lawn furniture.

Maybe even a broken bike-lock? Trash someone threw into your yard, maybe.

BTW, I find it interesting that the ruler uses tenths within inches.

You are probably right!
Got a 500 mile drive tomorrow - if you don't hear from me again, then it was probably something important

Hey, one-tenth of an inch is something psychedelic. Now imperial system uses metric subdivision
