Where can I find the manufacturing date?

I need to order some winter wheels/tires from TireRack and their website asks whether the manufacturing date is before or after 09/10. I thought it was printed on the driver's side door, but I don't see it there.

Mine's on a sticker under the bonnet. Open it up and look straight up.

Anybody know why this would matter?

BMW switched tire pressure sensors starting 09/10.

Weird. Mine just has a sticker up there about recharging the A/C. It's not anywhere on the window sticker, either. It's probably post 09/10, but I guess I'll have to call BMW NA in the morning to verify.

Inside the front door frame (c pillar) low down, stainless color date is in the top right corner. Ftm sensors did change effective oct build
