What gauges would you recommend to provide the most OEM look (white unlit/amber when lit)?

onefastman · 04-01-2010, 12:27 PM

I will be ordering one of these and putting my coolingmist flow meter and a a/f ratio gauge in it.

We recommend the Stri gauges, we use these on both of our project vehicles.

Prosport gauges have an amber lit wideband A/F gauge that looks pretty good as well as matching EGT gauges. http://prosportgauges.com/

I like the Stri gauges but they dont have A/F or EGT gauges in their lineup.

We use them on our Project 135, the Macht Schnell downpipes even have an integrated EGT bung for the thermocouple.

Its been over three months now, are we ever going to see some installed pics? Its one thing to see it as the standalone product, but it would be nice to see how it looks once its all fitted. Also, if you have the Steptronic transmission, will it interfere with the paddles, will it affect the view of the speedometer/tachometer. These are things that an installed pic could answer. Just saying, I am still very interested in your product, but it would be nice to see it on a 1er.

Here is a link to a DIY thread from Former_Boosted_IS on e90post.

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=353253

The steering wheel is the same for the 1 series and 3 series, so it would look just like it would in that thread.

This definitely is a nice piece of kit, but after seeing the mounted pics, I might wait until someone makes an A-pillar of some sort. Not being able to read my fuel or oil gauge without angling my body doesn't seem like the way I would want to go. I think I am more likely to go with the ashtray setup instead now. Just looks far cleaner.

A-Pillar pods are not recommended due to airbag placement behind the pillars.
