Screw found near front lip of car

Someone said they found this screw near/under the front lip of my car in the garage. The screw itself is perfectly clean.

My car is dravit grey and the color of the screw is grey (although I don't know if BMW uses color matched screws or not). I didn't notice any gold flakes on the screw though like dravit grey has.

Would anyone have the remotest idea if I should be worried? I don't know if this thing fell from the car or not. Or perhaps it got knocked over to where it was found.

Looks like a screw for plastic. It may of been dropped during production of the car and just worked its way out.

I would look around under the front lip and inside the wheel-wells for an empty hole

No Philips screws are used on the underside of the car. Should be 8mm hex screws with large washers.
