Can someone name this strange piece of plastic?

This is a broken piece of plastic I found in my 520D 2012 in the rear central console / cup holder. Any ideas?
Many thanks

Looks like part of some toy, don't think it's from the car. BMW generally doesn't use dyed plastics for interior stuff

I’m going to agree with the above. Most likely from a toy of some sort. Definitely have never seen any colored plastic anywhere in any of my BMWs while taking things apart. Always black or white from what I’ve seen.

thank you very much guys, that a good relief and it makes sense. Last owner didn't have kids so it might have been there a while :-)
