group buy feeler: e23/e24/e28 in-cluster digital oil temp/pressure gauge

[kronus]

This came up in Jelmer's awesome thread: a digital temp/pressure gauge that fits into e28, e24 and e23 clusters.

This is the guy who makes them: http://www.claasi.de/tip001400.php

This is what you get:









These are only made in C/bar currently.

This is what it looks like installed:



Here's Jelmer's post with install details: http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?p=1308304#p1308304

I'm in contact with Roland, the manufacturer, and he's suggested the following price structure:

1-3 units 125 euro per set
4-9 units 115 euro per set
10-15 units 110 euro per set
over 16 units 105 euro per set

for the display unit, cluster front piece with C/bar written on it, the control unit and all mounting materials, but no senders. I have found the necessary senders (E30 M3 oil temp, VDO 1-10 bar pressure with pressure switch contact) and can bundle them at cost.

He's coming to California in May and can bring them over in bulk. I can ship them out after that, but need to know who's interested and can commit, so let's get a list going. I'm going to keep this open for a month to see how many we can get, and am crossposting to bigcoupe.com and mye28.com.

Kronus,
I also saw that thread on myE28.com. I'm not sure how many R3V readers also have an e28 for cluster conversion, but it's covering all bases.


Greg at Bavarian Restorations has been doing this to E30 & E30M3 clusters for years.



best of luck with your e23/e24/e28 group buy!!

thanks jack! I put it in the 5-series subforum on purpose ;)

do you know if the above e30 kit is made by the same guy? I can probably organize a bit of both if it's the same guy..

I can tell you E30 guys that there is a tons more work involved to retrofit gauges into the E30 than the E28. The E30 cluster needs to be milled out with a lathe to allow provision for the digital gauges.

In the E28...plenty of room which is nice.

[Gregs///M]

The E30 kit will be a whole replacement housing.

[Gregs///M]

FYI, I do not make the E28 version above. However, its very nice and the price is reasonable.

Hit me up if you want this done to your E30, I am in the Bay Area too.

just checked out your website, pretty cool. i will say however, that for the $300+ price point, i am more inclined to run the podi vent gauge setup.

We can work on the price for you considering you are a OG r3v member and local.
