Hey this is my first post.

I have an 04' E55 and as I was putting on the center bumper grill today, I noticed the heat exchanger seemed to be a bit slanted. As in it seemed to be closer to the bumper on the left side than the right side. Its pushed more outward on one side than the other. Is it supposed to be like that? Or is it supposed to be straight? Your help on this will be much appreciated. And also, please excuse me if this seems to be a stupid question, it just didn't seem right.

I have not seen an HE that was not straight. Does there seem to be a reason why it is not straight such as a fitment issue?
