if its mounted on the windshield, you could be too close to the satellite radio antenna A friend of mine had a 08 m5 that did the same thing. If you moved the v1 to the top corner of the passenger side (near the visor), it would stop. Def some electronic interference. V1’s pickup any type or radar/laser, which could be produced by any number of electronics found in newer bmws- check the forums ---

NP, it should be at the top of the windshield anyway to increase range (according to v1/youtube etc). Im assuming you already have an appointment for tint- I would ask if they can use ceramic film instead of metalized to make sure that doesn’t effect the radar also. ---
