Crankcase-Ventilation/oil separator?

No. Wrong answer. No biscuit for me.

I noticed same thing on my n52, probably a bracket for the m54/s54 but not used on the n52 but it's not worth the cost of retooling during manufacturing.

The secondary air pump is on the front of the right side strut tower on the M54's.
There is nothing on the cabin side of the strut tower.

Actually Realoem says it is the SAP bracket, item 5

Good call.
I was thinking that might be for the SAP, but I looked at this diagram and confused myself.
I think #3 here is what bolts to #5 here.

So there's your answer!
S54 Secondary Air Pump Bracket.
Not used on 3.0.
