The V1 has the arrows, and will always be the only one with arrows. That kind of negates the need for the GPS-memorization. Doesn't the V1 tell you how many radar guns are targeting you anyway? I think I'll stick with the V1 and spend the extra $50 on something useful. Like coffee.

The V1 will pick up all the bands in the area and show you where each is coming from a the same time. Best choice IMO.

I think Passport has a good concept here...we'll see how it works. False alerts suck whether you know they are false or not. I've started using my detector (V1 in the X5 and 8500 Blue in the Odyssey) only on the highway now to avoid falses...

Joel, you're going to need that V1 when you get your new 335 for sure! I love mine!

BTW - why don't you wait until the hardtop convertible version comes out? - best of both worlds!

That's what I'm figuring.. I hope I don't get into too much trouble! :zoom:

I really like the E93.. But it doesn't start shipping until March, so I'm sure there will be a backlog. I'm leaving for college in August and I want to be sure I have the car, and that it's broken in by then. At the time I decided on the E92, I hadn't even seen pictures of the convertible. I do love it though!
