Socal member just installed my ALP and V1 in BMW 135i

Also I will be removing the front plate as well.

This will help, but keep in mind that the "White" color of your car is a disadvantage.(especially if it's a "metal flake" White !).

I would also move the sensors closer together and use the center area and put sensors in the top right and top left corners.

Proper spacing is VERY IMPORTANT, this point was highlighted this very morning when I Tested a Forum member here. I'll save commentary about it for his Thread when he Posts his results. Some Lidars he was ok w/, but 2 others gave him trouble & 1 in particular demolished him like a hot knife thru warm butter !
