Well since I have been into M3's I really haven't seen any GB's. Also I noticed not many talked about having them..so I figured this would be a good opportunity for a lot of people to get a set. I really like the ones Bavarian Auto (www.bavauto.com) has to offer, they list for 175.00 for either White, Aluminum, or Indiglow
Just wondering if someone from Bav. Auto was on here and would help me start this? BTW here are the pics of em:

Most aftermarket gauges require that the gauge needles have to be removed to insert gauge face. If this is the case I would highly NOT RECOMMEND aftermarket gauge faces. Once you take the needle off its very hard to estimate where it should be. Your gauges will most likely never be the same after, ie: 1500rpm will really be 1300rpm. I had a set professsionaly installed on my last beamer, i made a big mistake, never again!

If they light up the same color as the stock ones I'd be interested.

UUC's old ones did but theyve come out with the new one

vision werks 2...........instructions clearly say needles do not have to be removed, but i'm still iffy, i actually bought it but didnt know u have to tap into stuff and all so i'm nervous and it'll probably just collect dust now sitting in my closet

I'm not sure I follow.

Wouldn't the needle deflection be at 0 when taking the needles off
or do they move beyond that point and wouldn't there be a detent on the post for correct positioning of the needle?

I could see a watch being a problem, but you have 0 deflection in a guage when not actuated.
