which after market gauges?

[no2lurch]

in the past (no non bmw cars) i have had three extra gauges... voltage, oil pressure and a vacuum gauge.

can i fit have these to my e30 touring?

any other gauges useful?

[fuzzy]

a boost guage is always handy

[projectmick]

Could always put them here..............

looks fancy but is it practical with no rear view mirror? i put mine in the little panel above the ashtray in the centre console.

[projectmick]

No practicality whatsoever............ bit like a cossie engine in an e30

The ashtray panel is prob the most practical choice tbh.

im thinking of the position of the centre vents now as suggested on another thread. i could live without centre vents and that gives a high, central position for the guages.
a cossie engine in my car is extremely practical. a family/work friendly load lugger that lugs loads extremely fast

I've had a vacuum gauge in the past but IIRC its very similar to the standard "MPG" indicator fitted to most BMW's - so probably a bit of a waste of time.

You might be better with the standard Audi Coupe setup - Oil Pressure, Oil Temparature and Voltmeter.

Probably pick up the gauges off the bay - its the senders and wiring that you'll have to make work.

Had those gauges on my 1982 1.8 Sport. Really miss that old banger!!!

whats easier to instal , electrical or mechanical guages?

[siddiqi1]

fuzzy,

electrical or mechanical boost guages? i would have thought the electrical is easier but would be more expensive, as the mechanical works on a vacuum tube coming thorugh all the way to the guage i think!
