Curious to see if you guys fix this mistake that BMW has been doing for years.
The sticker orientation isn't a "mistake", it is the result of extensive wind tunnel testing by BMW's finest engineers. The sticker orientation, when coupled with BMW-specific tires and wheels, lower the coefficient of friction by a significant amount. If you reverse the sticker orientation without making a corresponding change to the tires and wheels and you're taking your and your passengers' lives into your own hands. Only at speeds greater than 42mph mind you. So unless you track your car, this might be a non-issue.

OP... Nice work.
