with the 9500iX the middle is the best place for it.

That way there is nothing obstructing the forward view of it, AND the GPS has a clear path upward for maximum performance.

Typically lower means better laser detection, but you lose some range and are more prone to objects blocking your signal

and vise versa
how about for the 8500 what would you say, high or low mount?

Honestly, I'd say middle.

The 8500 X50 has 360Degree protection. So you'll need a clear view through the rear window as well.

You might want to find something like this as well : http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=328175

Very clean mod.

Did you get it hardwired yet? I am looking for mine to be hardwired. Wondering which cable to buy and where to tap power.
