Uneven radar module(box)?

I picked up my M3 last week and just noticed while swapping the grills that the module box seems uneven? Is it possible to make it more even? I have seen few other pictures and most of them look even centered

Definitely looks off. But now that you swapped grilles BMW will blame you. Not sure how it’s able to be moved, but yours is definitely crooked.

The module is pointing forward, your grill is at a slight angle, that's just the way it is.

Looks like it’s tilted, higher on left. See mine

I don't think BMW will blame me. The first picture is straight from the dealership and it looks crooked.

It is calibrated to point straight forward, if you move it, it will not work correctly

Best I got off my phone. It's pouring rain here all week, lol.

I do see that from some angles it can look a bit crooked. But I still think mine looks straighter than yours does in your first picture.

Plenty of us have had to take our cars in for little odds and ends here and there. There's always issues with manufacturing for any car, don't sweat it.
