I don't recognize it exactly but it appears to be some sort of electronic microswitch such as to activate brake lights, detect if hood is opened, etc. What car is it from? Is it broken? Where did you find it?

Well it's a R53 and it detached somehow but I'm triggering it and nothing happens so maybe it's detected as well
