For a gauge, I love the kind that let you overfill the tire and then have a pressure relief valve to let out air until you get the exact pressure. I just bought a Moroso 89560 ($45 amazon). Expensive? Hell yes, but so are BMWs. I'm tired of crappy tire gauges. This gauge is simply awesome.

Thanks for the suggestion.
$45 for a gauge is not bad- as long as it's accurate. I used to have an air compressor from Costco (still do actually). It was something like $100-200. We used it for a while and the needle broke off and it's just been sitting for a while now. lol
Any cheaper air compressor that you guys can recommend? I mean $450 is quite expensive for a compressor.
