We look tight. Any other PDX area M5 owners out there?

Looking good. Did you come up with any new insights for the out of area guys?

I'm wondering if there is an opportunity to optimize placement of the radar antenna.

I still need to test my laser and radar to see how well it works. The radar doesn't seem to be sensitive enough so it may need relocation or adjustment.

I plan to get a lidar gun soon and make sure I am covered front and back.

MWLMD has his shifters on the furthest outer slat and protruding slightly.

I have mine on the second outer slat and more flush.

I know MWLMD has full coverage, I don't know how well I am doing as they were just installed.

The radar is new and hasn't had time to GPS lockout grocery stores etc so I need to be sure it is picking everything up. I have all mods turned on to make sure it's working.

Radar antenna is a big concern, will update

The location I think would be optimal for radar reception would be the driver's side foglight intake area. I may try this when I get time to relocate it. That said I have driven Atlanta-Miami twice, and Miami-Atlanta once with no tickets.

Where is your antenna?

Roughly where I described, but just above the driver's side foglight intake so it isn't visible. I want to lower it into that intake.
