my brother told me that the 3 guage pods that fit below the a/c controls on an e30 will fit on a ti as well, is this true? ive looked at pictures, they dont look the same.

is there anyplace out there that makes 3 guage pods that are a direct fit for the 318ti? im in dire need.

thanks

I'll take a closer look at both.
You can use A pillar gauges or build your own.

I have one for sale.

The one on the bottom right. Holds three 2 1/16" gauges (normal size) and has 2 holes to mount LEDs (I used one for alarm, one for water injection). PM me if interested. The other gauge mounts in the picture are also for sale.

I have another question conserning these pods, they must be connected to an adapter now I found one...
Now is my question will it fit (where must I look for), and how do I connect it, because in the manual tehy are talking about unscrewing the filterhousing... Has anybody got a howto or something about the adapter.
