It doesn't belong there.

Youre missing a plastic panel that goes on top of that foam duct

I don't remember that on my M44 nor my M42.
Maybe it's been just too long ago.

Not on my 1995 M42 which never has the gap cover unless its added.

By any chance at one end is there a gadget with 2 hoses hooked to it? Probably on the end at the passenger side.
It looks like how they insulate the pipes for a plug in forced flow engine heater. You might have a power cord coiled up under the bumper,
or a connector on the gadget.

No, that hose is absolutely correct- intake air hose for M44. As E36 TI-M stated, it's missing the plastic protective cover that hides it, as partially shown in the photo below:




EDIT: Oops- the arrow is actually pointing to the cover section that you still have- there's obviously another plastic piece that you're missing, I just don't have a photo readily available to show for comparison.

Ah,, My 95 has the tube that goes straight forward through the core support and gets air at the left of the grill.. No the Fogg airbox makes sense on the later cars.

Yep, M42 is a completely different intake/air box setup. M42 draws intake air from the left side of the radiator; M44 from the right.
