I'm interested in doing some gauges for the RSI Werks E36 Project Car. I'd like to buy the following gauges.

Engine Oil Temp
Engine Oil Pressure
Water Temp
Diff Oil Temp
Trans Temp
Boost

I recall seeing dual digital gauges in a BMP catalogue, where else can I get them?

Is there anything else I should look for or more important to cover? I'm not interested in throwing in a clock and I have no clue as to why you would want a volt meter....maybe an A/F meter?

Thanks
-Ron

Have you been to the Group Buys forum lately? I think you just missed a GB on gauges.

you should look into Autometer's Cobalt series....they light up blue at night, with bright red pointers...very trick.

best place I've seen to date for all your gauge shopping needs is www.egauges.com

They've got all the different series of gauges available...as well as the mounting hardware you would need/want....single and dual a-piller mounts, etc....

check em out!

Hey Ron,

Don't get the 0-160 psi oil pressure guage from BMP. Instead get a 0-80 psi guage.

There is a ?? easternmotorwerks.com ?? or something like that. They sell complete kits for BMW's. I got my kit from them.

I don't think an A/F meter is that much interesting for data.

thanks for the input guys. I can pick up goods from BMP for wholesale, but I'm also very interested in their new SPA guages. I'd like to try and retain a clean look but I'm trying to stay within my main vision for this car.

I'll check into them, I've heard of them before when there was an old GB going.

thanks!
