The natural wear of the tires with the camber as it is creates a nice flat contact patch with the road.

Flip that tire to the other side and that flat contact patch is now at an angle to the road surface.

It really isn't a good idea. BMW does not recommend it.

...and, don't quite understand the goal of reversing the tire,
"inside out".

The interior sidewall is going to be pretty dull from oxidation, even if
it was cleaned up and had the sidewall markings/look the OP was after.
