          Agreed, they are very attractive. I especially love the raised revlimit on the tach.

                BMP has a white set, but it costs $120. And you really need to paint the needles red if you use a white face.

                    If they are like the gaugeco ones - the glow behind the white is uneven and looks terrible. I had white dials for about a week and switched back. Of course, now I have red needles, which I think look pretty cool.

                      I don't really care for white gauges in E30's, I think it looks cheap. However, I do like the chrome bezels installed with some red needles like on the M3s. Maybe if UUC made some for the E30 that illuminated the whole face nicely...well...maybe I'd learn to like them.

                          the gauges aren't translucent. E30 gauges are reflective..
                          I'm not sure if I like gray. I dunno, I guess I'm happy with the stock gauges.. maybe I'm just boring. at least it's not a stupid lookig picture of a chick or something else that makes the gauges unreadable. ;)

                              E30 gauges are lighted from the front.
