Front radar mounted off center?

As mush as I love and enjoy the G05, I found it constantly triggering my OCD in the least expected way

I have seen a few photos online where the front radar is not mounted perfectly. I guess this is understandable given the mounting solution seens to have quite some wiggle room (not sure why bmw didn't make the mount more consistent). But mine is just too obvious and looks really weird like it has been punched or something.

Going to take to the dealer and ask for remount soon...

I agree I 'd be uncomfortable knowing that it's off balance. haha

I just checked mine. It is centered. I wonder if it is the sensor shield is off or is the bumper off?

Judging by the front parking camera the radar is definitely off but maybe the bumper too lol

It looks like the car ran into something or maybe someone backed into it with a trailer hitch? I'd just loosen up those screws and try centering it.
