On later cars, BMW E28s used this plate as a second mounting point for the driverside kick panel. It had a tendency to droop some over the pedals. This tightens it up.
I like how they just made a bunch of holes to allow for where this second screw might line up. Ad hoc design.
Very popular with this crowd. I'm sure there's a Japanese racing tradition here I'm not aware of. I do know people like to show off by driving with their wheels hanging out the driverside windows.
