BMW used to install at the dealer a slot shaped k40 type radar detector, it looked a lot like the k40 bw200. But it had a BMW logo. Do want one of these as a period correct addition. I'm doing some interior stuff anyway, so I thought I'd check.

Never heard of them. Great idea though (although probably illegal in the UK )
Re: Another strange request...a k40 BMW 80s radar detector?
I had one of those in my brand-new '85 535i. As I recall, it didn't seem to work very well.

The Roundel is hit or miss, but to your point it was a jag option as well. The jaguar brand was on the right. Is it jag branded? If not are you willing to sell?
I know it's not worth beans as an instrument, I like it more as a curiosity.
Note too there is another k40, the Ns100 iirc that looks similar but this
layout is the one I like with the adjustable gains.
