Which downpipe are the (bank 2) O2 sensors on... ?

I hope you fellas can help me out here. I've got a 2020 X3 MC that I'm restoring with only 1,700 miles on it. We're getting a check engine light saying the bank 2 (post cat) 02 sensor is bad.

(1.) So is bank 2 on the drivers side orientation or the passenger side of the factory downpipes... ?
(2.) Have you ever seen a 02 sensor fail that early... ?
(3.) Do the pre or post cat 02 sensor tend to fail more often... ?

This must be a pretty difficult question & knowledge only a few people know.

It shouldn’t of fail so soon either. Did you check the connections on the back of the valve cover to make sure they are properly connected there a little tricky

This is exactly what I thought. But simply wanted to double check beforehand just to make extra sure. It's a major PITA (pain in the ass) to reach things on or near the back of the S58.
