K40 in E90/E92?

carchrism5 · 07-05-2007, 05:25 PM

I just got a K40 and was wondering who else out there has one and how they mounted it on the front bumper without the license plate bracket and would like some pictures or info

Well to be up front and honest, the K40 really doesn't work. You need an M-40 Blinder Xtreme. But all you have to do is make sure that your sensors are within 15inches of the license plate

Well without going into the functions of the unit, because I see it is much debated, I work at a very large K40 dealer, so that is why I have K40. And I know how to install them, etc, i was just looking for some pics of exactly where ppl have been mounting them in this specific car.

I have a K40 installed in my E90 .
You can find pictures and a small writeup at http://www.janixworld.com/330xi/k40/
My goal was to have the K40 hidden as much as possible and to integrate it into the OEM look and feel.

Hth,
