Thank you...

The base Qi45 is $699 installed (at Murray Motors BMW), the laser shifters are $299 more, installed. All in...the Qi45 w/ shifters is a minimum of $1,000 less than the 9500ci (closer to $2,000 as 9500 installs typically take >8 hours, versus a few +/- (incl. fabrication time) for the Qi. The downside is that the Qi shifters are front only. This didn't matter a ton to me as the only LIDAR I have personally experienced seems to be a head on (frontal) assault, so the notion of a single rear shifter on my license plate seems a waste of $.

I personally (opinion) don't think that the 9500ci is going to provide me with $1,000+ extra performance or benefit, so I went with the Qi45 instead.

Nice job on install. Nice touch with the carbon fiber look.
