Strust sticker rubbing against tire...

So I felt like sharing a little "problem" I've been having with the Mini.

For months I've been having a swishing sound coming from the driver's side tire everytime I drove at a slow speed. The dealer said it was nothing and to make sure my tired were always properly inflated. Still annoyed with this swish sound I finally found the time to jack up my car and check it out.

Turns out, it was the decal on the front strut that had peeled off and was rubbing against the tire. So at low speeds, the rubbing caused a swish.

Now the real question is: Why couldnt the dealer figure this out? haha

I dont know, I just found it funny....
