I found that with the placement shown in mwlmd's photo there is a weakness. I will PM that to him and to any known M5 owner who asks me. The solution is to move it inside by one more vane which is like what Bradone1 has. I tested both placements on my own car, and the Bradone1 placement works better. It looks like this.

I couldn't get a reading with my current setup, i wonder if mine is out far enough (protruding forward) to be visible from that angle?

Best place to put it is where the drivers side foglight would normally be. Best performance would be to cut it so it peaks out that mesh. Mine doesn't peak out but I wish it did because that definitely increases range based on past experience.

Guys, I'm thinking about ordering the LI Quad BMW system for my M5 as well. Quick question. Is this a system that you can install yourself or is it better to have someone install it for you. I'm always up for a DIY project but I just wanted to get the community's opinion. Thanks!

Also be sure to run the wires away from the cars major cable conduits to avoid interference. The most important thing is to test the setup after installation.

Hey Dave I had mind professionally installed, we can link up for you to check out how he did it on mine if you want. Might make a DYI easier if you see one in person.

I would have a system like that in a Heart beat IF the laws and Police knowledge were not so "Freedom Impairing" here in the UK.
They are so HOT on this now, and lets face it those surface fixtures are not exactly hidden are they, a kid could spot them.
