Thanks. Yup heard AL is really good.
My concern is just finding someone to trust to install.
Upstate NY though I would travel to get a good install.
I was going 143 km/hr in 100 km/h zone - I think it's like 26 miles over.

Could ask your BMW dealer....a few dealers here install accessories

Were you running a radar detector?

How about defense by driving within the speed limit?

Yup, had my RD in place, but they were using laser.
The dealer up here isn't very useful for anything.
But that's a good idea, I'll check the dealer I bought the car from - in NJ.
Can you suggest a couple in NJ?
Thanks!

May be worth a shot to post on the M5 forums. Back when I was on the F10 M5 forum there were a lot of nice integrated Radar-Laser installs going on over there.

If you are on medical-related travel, I think it's ethical to put scrubs etc. on passenger seat. You may get a warning and a thank you instead of a ticket.

Thanks I'll check into that.
I went onto a radar forum and they had a lot of good info there.
I'm still looking for i8 specific stuff though.

It was Ontario.
Yup I showed him some ID, told him I was responding to a call.
He didn't care!

Heartless OPPies.

They let me off once, Michigan plates car full of sticks and gear when I explained I was late for a game... But that's hockey! Waaay more important than responding to a medical emergency.
