I like how they engineer the car to such tolerances and specifications but this marketing sticker is just applied with the precision of a blind howler monkey.
It is applied by the most precise robot in the whole factory in exactly that angle on purpose! You just don’t understand their great message behind that sticker…
A lot of the black labeled stickers are done in the same process. It’s inspected by a inspector at the end of that line and again after the roll booth processes.
Oh I get it. Still visual inspection. Can only rely on about 80% of defects being caught visually in a high rate environment. The severity of such a defect is super low though so something like this doesn’t need anything better.
No they’re not engineered with high tolerance and specifications like Toyotas. I’ve had quite a few BMWs and Toyotas. Look at a new BMW window mechanism and look at a 20 year old Toyota window mechanism. BMW should’ve used whoever Toyota contracted to make windows mechanisms among other things.
I like that the sticker isn’t centered. It catches your eye better.

I’m an aircraft mechanic, and the work I do is usually super specific. Tight tolerances, exact materials and specs.
Last time I was flying, in the lav there was a placard on the door that was waayyyy put of alignment. Like, the whole airplane was put together so well, and the lav placards were done late Friday afternoon.
I think that’s done so people actually read it. While I read stickers a lot, I regularly find new stickers in places I should have noticed earlier but didn’t because they didn’t catch my attention
I would argue it’s applied misaligned so as to grab attention. Cars have stickers in many nooks and crannies that are perfectly straight and aligned. A sticker like this calls attention to itself in contrast to just another perfectly aligned sticker that a normal person would be blind to.
You know how YouTubers add typos or some other intentional inaccuracy in the their videos just for people to comment about it thus the video gaining traction since engagement is good. I mean the OP did post it here because he felt something was off about it. So it did work.
Or maybe the monkey thing is real idk lol

Especially compared to how nice the other one is
Almost like the worker installing it knows the truth 😅

I work at Plant Spartanburg, where that car was made that definitely shouldn’t have made it past the gates

Meh it’s a visual inspection. Could’ve also been done after final as well as an “oh shit we forgot our contractual obligation to shell on some cars”.

The monkey or the sticker
It’s the same on our 2021 x3 m40i lol
Absolutely not, I too work there. Hall 50 Band 44.

Applied with precision by a blind howler monkey. Loving it

My guess is the shell sticker was applied at the dealership by pre delivery rather than the factory

As a blind howler monkey I approve this message.
