Flat side is up and tapers (cone) side is always down.

Also, the rim just above the tapered side is where the strut/shock boot snaps to.

Oh well, every one I have ever pulled out (not BMW's) has been the other way up. Shame I was the only one to provide any timely feedback to the OP, until others had an opportunity to come in and say someone was wrong

Flat side is designed to rest under the strut/shock mount and that side will have the hole just big enough to fit snug against the piston rod. It supposed to be stationary there. Taper side is designed to absorb impact from damper.
If the bump stop is installed up-side-down, it will move against the piston rod as it impacts the damper. Eventually, the bump stop will become loose on the piston rod from the movement and will wear out fast.
