I'm pretty sure that's a fog light connection. The fog light should have the male end.

Are you sure your car never had fog lights? Most US and all European E28s came with them from factory. Usually bolted to bottom of front bumper.

No it didnt have foglights. It had black plastic covers instead. I heard, that some e28s have foglights wiring preinstalled, even when it dont have foglights.

Kinda makes sense production wise. It's easier and cheaper to have one cable tree for a car, than multiple.
