Bonus from BMW Germany!

Someone rear ended me about a month ago and I ordered the rear e90 areo kit and I suppose it came from Germany.

Well I got a bonus while sifting through the box. Anyone able to translate.

I know, I know, cool story.

The actual translation is "smoking can be deadly" but that is an old box because the new warnings have to cover at least a third of the box. Obituary notices in Germany that go out in the mail have a black border. Hence the black border of the warning.

Actually, on the other side of the box the warning is much bigger but the picture is of the smaller warning.

Actually it was Zyklon-B, but the concept is similar.

Back in the early '90s I got a call from someone closing a base in Germany. They had found some canisters labeled Zyklon-B in the basement and wanted to know what to do. The German hazmat guys had a fun time with that one.
