I don't follow, are you saying pricey in general? Or pricey for my particular list asking?

The gauge reads multiple factors (boost, coolant temp, rpm, egt's, ignition timing, throttle position) and it reads and clears codes. There's a ton of technology in this thing. It also has 2 analog outputs in order to incorporate 2nd and 3rd gauges.

Exactly right, you wouldn't have a problem plugging into and 1 series; 128i, 135i, or even 1M

BUMP!

Any idea if these have been fixed so they work with the JB4 tuning chip?

Unfortunately it does not work with JB4. I have G5 ISO and it was causing an interference issue with control of CANbus system--which is why I'm selling it. I was unaware of issues when purchasing/installing.

Damn that sux. I would be all over this. Its crazy because my Dynavin can pull that info without issue. I wish they would make a Can Bus adapter.

If you are just looking for a boost gauge, you can set the analog input and drill/tap the vac line to your intake manifold and get a direct read out. Yes, it's a lot of extra work but the gauge is clean and stock looking. However you wouldn't take advantage of any other features of the gauge like code reading/deleting

I have N55 with JB4 stage 2 and this P3 gauge before. never had any issues but the digital boost so i ran the boost line from my CP ( i bought ETS with 1 meth bung ) and had a great time. Very very simple job to run the boost line. Very cool gauge and nice to have. Sold it awhile ago and kinda miss it ;( hope this will help the seller.

under that set-up, you ran the JB4 with the "N54" engine setting to allow the vac read out to be correct?? Pretty ingenious using the charge pipe and meth bung. WAY EASIER THAN DRILLING AND TAPPING THE MANIFOLD

Yea this installs very easy, very quickly. One thing about the N54, to obtain boost readings you have to slip vac line through a rubber boot in the firewall and tap into a vac line under the hood, but P3 has install guides and pictures to make this as easy as possible. The whole process might take 45 minutes if you have no idea what you are doing.

It comes with all connectors and fittings, makes things simple.
