BMA250E precision chart (bad negative axis data)

Hi, we implemented a BMA250E sensor on our PCB, wrote FW for it ... we get all the data we want. We are trying to compare this sensor (using shock events) with a professional one, to validate the accuracy of the g-values it provides.

And here is the problem,  we get good results for +x / +y / +z axis values. But the performance of -x / -y / -z  values (sensor upside down) is by far worse. In some g-ranges the sensor "misses" the maximum g-force value in 50% of cases. That is using the Any Motion / Slope mode detection.

Since in normal axis position (+x) works perfectly I think our layout and settings are correct. 

Does the sensor really have worse characteristics in "negative axis positions"?
