    Podi "Alpina Tribute" e30 vent gauge



    Inspired by the Alpina center vent gauge I created the PVG-E30 as the ultimate E30 Gauge setup. This patented design is based on the BMW e30 dash vent and provides a factory look with a perfect fit.

    Where the original Alpina gauge was fixed with 4 predetermined readouts, this modular gauge setup allows you to select up to 4 items of YOUR choice to be monitored.

    Everything from oil pressure, oil temp, water temperature, air/fuel ratio, turbo boost to a remote readout for your Valentine 1 radar detector.

    A truly custom gauge setup for only $349 + required senders based on the options you want to monitor.

    Go here to start configuring your own gauge: http://www.podi.ca/categories/shop-b...eries-e30.html

    Right now I have overstock of these gauges and I need to clear some out!

    Use promo code E30OVERSTOCK at checkout and get $50.00 off any e30 vent gauge package AND get free US shipping!


    -------------------------

    Question: Can you reprogram them if we already have one so we can have different features?

    Reprogram, no. Swap an existing module out with a new one? Yes.

    Think of the left and right side as two separate gauges. You can swap out an existing gauge module with a new one, connect the inputs to the new senders and you have new features being monitored.

    To go back to the way it was, you swap back in the old module, reconnect the sender inputs and you are done.

      If I were looking to duplicate the alpina gauge, what gauges would I choose, and what color would the display be.

        The display color would be red.

        Original display -> Podi display

        Manifold pressure -> Boost
        Oil pressure -> 100psi oil pressure
        Oil pressure -> oil temperature
        Differential Temperature -> transmission temperature

        Total cost to replicate the original Alpina displays: $515.00

        Your price with discount is $465.00

                  Depending on how many order we have in the queue, it can vary from 4-7 days from when the order is placed to custom build, test and ship the gauge to you.

                              Do these fit the vent near door, left? It does not work anyway
