I remember seeing a vendor on the e46fanatics forum that carried a cool metal mount for the V1 that custom mounts the V1 just under your rearview mirror and then you can hardwire it to the area in your roofliner behind where the oem garage opener buttons go. I saw pics of a few e46's with this setup and it look great.

My Ride: My 5 and I met on Father's Day 2008 and have been together ever since. 20" Wheels (Make TBD), premium package, sport package, AiB V3 upgrade and a Passport Escort 8500 Radar Detector.
Congrats on the new radar!

I like the capital "L" setting but then again, in Pennsylvania, local cops can't use radar so your mileage may vary...
If this is your first detector, don't get comfortable and assume you're immune to getting a ticket. It literally takes years (and sometimes a few tickets) to really learn and/or understand what the unit is telling you when it goes off, etc.
Good luck but be careful!
