Build the HUD to display more than one gauge at once, that would be cool

If you drove a 335 with a tune you would never type/say either of those words in conjunction with buying a tune.

Thats very interesting....another reason to get a stand-alone gauge

Nice setup guys, keep posting them up. and Yes I know my JB4 offers the boost gauge on my fuel / oil temp.. but its much easier to read my AEM Digital Boost controller... and yes the sticker adds about 10whp.

No, not on the windshield. It will display on your navigation screen, but doing a HUD would be more awesome...lol

I remember on the '90-92 240 Coupes, HUD was an option. Taking it way back...

Oh ok, I was referring to an actual heads up display on the windshield, not the screen...

As far as having a clean & factory look, the P3 is the way the go.

Good to know. I was referring to the JB4/PROcede boost gauge integration.

Just wondering, has anyone ever installed a boost/gauges directly into the dash? This really only works on non-iDrive BMWs for spacial reasons, but I'm talking about basically drilling & mounting the gauages directly into the dash.

zerep1 · 05-15-2012, 10:30 AM

im thinking 3 gauge stack on a pillar once i get fbo and strip the seats 'because racecar"

rdub315 · 05-15-2012, 11:13 AM

I like mine. The quality isn't the best, but for the price it is great. The gauge also matches the the interior lighting very well.
