the wires that come out of that side of the harness go to:
crankshaft position sensor
throttle body position sensor (there is the main one and the ACS one)
idle control valve
oil pressure sensor (i think)
maf (its not the maf, different plug)

Thank you! I will double check all of them right now
If your car is a manual transmission, then that is an additional sensor for the throttle body that is only used on automatic transmission cars. They used one harness for all the V8 cars.

i'm not sure about this, all throttle bodies are the same, manual or automatic. what other sensor would there be?
OP, willing to cut the shrink wrap away to learn the wire colors?
EDIT: The reason why most people have no idea what the plug is, is that it looks like only the 540i/6 M-Sport cars had the feature. A lot of the automatic cars had the feature and many of the 525s had them as well.

So if the car doesn't have the ASC+T the connector just sits there unused?
Yes my 540i is a 6spd. And I've spent so much time looking for a spot to plug it in.
I will pull the shrink wrap back a little and inspect the wires.
And I'll also check for the buttons next to my shifter.
I'm just worried about when I go to smog/emissions test because it can cause a failure for visual. (Missing pieces from the engine etc.)
Been doing some more reading on this...isn't this where the ASC+T connector goes? If so, it looks like it's already connected or am I just seeing it wrong?
That does look like it and it does look like it is plugged in already...Interesting.
FYI, here is my throttle body. Much different looking than the OPs. I bet the short one that is unplugged in the pic below is the ASC+T. In which case, the OP and I have the same loose wire. Can you tell what colors mine are?
Another look at my throttle body. Only has one throttle body blade.
