335i Gauges?

I've just bought this gauge pod for my 335i:

http://www.europeanautosource.com/si...auge_m3_12.jpg

Currently I have my Aquamist water meth gauge wedged in the ashtray which I need to have a view of all the time in case I get a warning light or to turn off when necessary. I want to put a boost gauge there aswell since I'm currently using a Cobb AP and would like to have one to keep an eye on.

That leaves me with a third space for a gauge but nothing to put there. I already have the BMW Performance wheel with oil+water temperature and shift lights so I don't know what's left. I would like an AFR gauge but that would require drilling and tapping into a downpipe which I can't be bothered to do.

Any ideas for the third spot?

Got the last two already on my steering wheel but I'm thinking either battery voltage or diff oil temp. Thanks for the ideas!

Gauge pod from here:

http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...9x-3-series-m3

The Aquamist gauge was free with my expensive meth kit

Boost gauge I'm thinking this one as it is a nice match for my Aquamist gauge :

That would be awesome but requires drilling into the turbo manifolds for proper reading. Too much work on our stupid RHD cars

Def not Pro sport.

Defi gauges or nothing else. I loved my Defi gauges



just do a battery voltage then mate... simple and it is actually quite useful in our high power consuming cars

More than I wanted to spend though

Water temp, definitely a concern on a 335i!
