Advice on installing the LI Dual on a BMW 335
Attachment 4762
I the got unit last week and got around to running the wires and temporarily mounted the unit in the area where the green boxes are at in the picture. What do you guys think? Is this the best spot? The other area where I considered mounting it was where the red boxes are. Your thoughts?
Regards,
Jose

I'm no expert, but it seems both spots are too low. You may need to cut the grill to get the best placement.

definite too low.Witha dual your best bet is at the bottom of the main grill and furthest to the lights.

what about vertically in between the upper grill? There doesn't seem to be a 100% consensus on whether vertically is good or not.
Re: Advice on installing the LI Dual on a BMW 335
vertical worked for me, but my car is black, and doesn't have as big of a front end. As said before, vertical will work for most shots, but they get tricky in off axis. its much safer to have a horizontal setup to have standard LIs

put them in the grill vertical. anything lower then the headlights= Fail PT. ive done testing with lots of bmw's and anything lower was fail. the person i testing put heads in grill and had much better results in grill. good luck

Agree with vertical in the grille. But even then, you're going to still have some vulnerability. If you move the red boxes up to directly beneath the headlights, on top of the bumper, that's your best location. I've only seen one BMW driver with the gnads to do that though.

The E9X is the retarded younger brother of the E46, with the IQ of a house fly.
Your car should be on adderall.

aa2033 is correct. He's tested someone's setup and it was pretty darn good.
But at our meet last month, we had SolidJake's car with the LI Duals. They were mounted too low. We took my extra pair of Duals and put them in the front grill vertically. No good. Took the sensors and put them right underneath the headlights by the grill and his results were MUCH better. He does have a different style/year BMW though.
I would get a quad in front for the BMW...just my .02
