E30 Zone

Signed up for the gauge pod from Kos and was just wondering what three gauges to put in.I was thinking volts,oil pressure and oil temp.Would these be easy to install and what are you guys planning on using?

I've already got in mine ( not from Kos) water temp, oil pressure and vacuum

i had a water temp gauge, oil temp and voltage

I'd have oil pressure, oil temp and water temp(if you don't trust you bmw gauge). Otherwise swap that for volts. So pretty much what you said

Would definatly have oil pressure though. You can kind of tell oil temperature from oil pressure too.

How easy are the oil temp oil pressure and volts to install?

If you're feeling fancy you could go for a diff fluid temp guage, I was in an E36 M3 the other day and the bloke had fitted diff and gearbox temp guages, very interesting to see what was goign on in there.
Oil pressure is the most important one to go for, been meaning to fit my guages for ages, but they are still sitting here gathering dust.

oil tep and voltage are easy enough


oil presure, there is a oil presure swith on every e30 and you could take it from there

ive got the Audi/vw guages and going to fit them when I get the holder from Kos. Oil temp/pressure and volts.

Seen these type but maybe a bit to modern for an e30 think the needle one would look better but not made my mind up yet

Might need a low down on the install when the time comes.

no worries, i'll help you out

This sounds interesting - has anyone got any pictures of these installed? Where do they go - in lieu of the centre air vents, or behind the ash tray, or...?
