Hose to nowhere???

Hey everyone. Happy almost Friday! I was looking around my engine compartment today wondering what kind of work it would take to replace a windshield wiper fluid low sensor, when I got distracted by what looked like a random hose that seemed to go nowhere. My initial thought is that it was some kind of drain hose, but it has a crimped sort of end on that makes it look like it was attached to something at some point. I looked for any connectors it could reach, but didn't see any. Here are some pics of it starting from a overall view zooming in to the hose location.

INFO:
2008 MINI BASE
Automatic

Thanks!

Easiest way to ID is to jump out to www.realoem.com and find the illustration showing the hose.

One way vent hose is correct. Keep it facing that direction so nothing falls into it.
