Got my M5 back from Justin @ Benchmark Motoring today.

The install took 2-days to complete. They took their time to do it the way I preferred; flush mounted heads in the front grill for maximum range and functionality. Benchmark is a top notch outfitter and after today I highly recommend them. I appreciate all the previous recommendations.

I'm very happy with outcome.

That looks fantastic.

 

I have ashtray mount in my GT3... love it...

Got my first save today.

I was heading Eastbound on I-90 approaching the Mt. Baker Tunnel. Just as I enter the tunnel, I get a Ka-Band prompt.

In my experience, that usually means one thing; a bogey is on the Lake Washington Bridge waiting for cars coming out of the tunnel.

I hit Cruise Control . . . preset to 62 MPH.

Sure enough, unmarked Silver/Grey Dodge Charger waiting in the shoulder, halfway across the bridge, shooting Ka to all comers.

I felt like waving.

 

Wow, Ka? I think that is a rarity on the hwy these days. Most of the LEO's I see use laser (prob at least 90%). There is a Dodge *Magnum* always waiting with Ka around the Tulalip outlet mall though.

 

Ka indeed. Made for my first true test other than marking all the K-band speed limit signs on my commute.

 

Incredible Install! How were benchmark's rates compared to others and did you purchase the system from them or somewhere else? I'm in Tacoma and want to make sure I take my bimmer to the right installer at the right price!

Thanks!

Whatever the price, they're always worth the price. Nothing worse than doing it twice because it wasn't done right the first time.

 

Congrats. Benchmark did both installs on my systems too - I have the V-1 and the Passport 9500ci. They did a great job and the systems save me every day!
