Custom E30 Steering Column Mounted Gauge Pods

[17sd]

Is it too late to be added on the list now?

[Van Westervelt]

Can't wait! :)

Any word on the v1 add on?

Sorry bud, I thought I responded, should fit with no issues, as the e36 one will work with the v1. Also on s14 they posted about using a Shift-i. No issues with that either.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND ALL OF THESE WILL BE FIGURED OUT WHEN TEST FITMENT IS DONE.

Pods/Cups are all machined so the bulk of the work is done.

As soon as we can verify that the contour for the airbag and non-airbag upper column covers are the same, we will start to machine the center bars. Then everything goes to be bead blasted to give it the matte finish like the plastic column cover.

The last step is for the pieces to be black anodized!

I will post some 3D CAD screen shots just as soon as the center bar is being machined.

how do i know which size i need for my e30?

Pick out what gauges you are going to buy first, then choose the size.

IMO, for this application 52mm's are fine. They're cheaper than 60mm gauges, and since they're going to be right up in your face on the column, easily readable. If I were mounting elsewhere farther away I'd look at larger faces (like maybe in the ashtray, OBC, etc.).

BTW, VDO makes a very nice series that matches the stock e30 gauges very nicely. They even come with little red "condoms" for the bulbs that match the lighting at night fairly well.

can they make these larger than 62mm? you can use these as high quality cup holders if you can change the mounting :-D
