Gauge options for the 135i?

What are the options for mounting gauges (boost, afr, oil psi etc) to the dash? I can't find any that mount to the A pillar.

Anything attached to the A-pillar will became a projectile in the event of a side-curtain airbag deployment.

So then what are the best options for this car? 3 gauges would be perfect.

Correct, no oil temperature which is the primary reason I want a gauge and main reason I won't buy a P3.
