    Do you know of any great ways to integrate boost and egt gauges or readouts into the E28 cluster or dash?

      I have a gauge holder that takes the place of the center two dash vents. Being that the e28 doesn't use the center dash vents for heat...and it has that center-upper vent....I see no big deal blocking them off.


      Not my pic...but this is what it is:



      IIRC they're quite rare (post I got the pic from says there are 3 members running one....one of them being me)...but look easy enough to make from some plastics....

      I like it because it looks like it's supposed to be there....an it's not down in the ash tray....no looking down, eyes away from the road shit. Also it's not annoying like a pod somewhere ON the dash or A pillar.

        DUDE I want one now ya bastard. My dad bought an '06 Dodge Cummins/6 speed brand new, still mad he sold it, and still in love with diesels because of it. And still haven't owned one because they're too expensive.

        Early models do it better.

            Haven't had it "on the road" yet. Car is at my parent's place and they live on a private road....so all the vids are there.

              So I accident another diesel.

              Burgundrot 85 524td.

              Dad got it in a package deal with a Bronzit 86 524td.

                So what's the plan with the Burgundrot then? Also how is the paint? I've only seen one burgundrot with good paint

                  Oh it's not in good shape. Looks more of a matte Burgundrot. I'll try to polish it out......once it's running methinks.

                            I still have this car.

                            I put a Hungry Diesel fuel pin in it.

                            ZOMG this car is a blast.
