Still getting to know my 2020 540i.

I noticed this thing. It’s not a button. What is it?

Wondered myself
On pre LCI , to the left would have been the cd slot so is it covering up an eject buttton behind it is something similar?

Interior temperature sensor?

I thought maybe an ambient light sensor or occupancy camera/sensor?

That is a motion sensor for the anti-theft systems.
