yeah, i've been looking at it for a while but there are so many diff options, im kinda just weighing it. wanna see what Terry comes out with from BMS, but i think i will still like Rix vent guage best.

Turkish - have i met you in person? if not, u should come out to the next meet in Herndon. are you gonna install it yourself or you have a shop doing it? keep me posted, im very interested.

I don't think we met before. I usually don't drive the car much during the warmer months so I haven't gone to any bimmer meets yet. However I'll definitely come to the Herndon one. I live a couple of minutes from downtown Herndon.

In any case, I'll pm anyone interested once I get the unit. I will be doing the install myself along with changing the chip on my jb3 to ver. 1.1 so if you guys want to watch or help out you're more than welcome to come by.

No problem. I have a one car garage though so it will be a tight fit with everyone in there

Hey guys, sorry to bust in, but, if a few of you want to get in together on them, I can combine shipping costs and give a "1-box" total discount since I can save on packaging and shippipng

I don't hang out in this thread, so if you figure out if you wanna do that, just send me a PM with the details of what you guys want... I can still split it up over several payments, and just split the shipping costs as a well as give a 5% total discount if you can get 3 (including the one I already sold to turkish), I can refund 5% to his as well if he finds at least 2 others.

Thanks! I won't invade your thread anymore

Happy Thanksgiving!

Paul - shoot me a pm or give me a call and lets figure out what to do.

Turkishexpress - Rick didnt make it clear, but Paul and I wonder if your vent guage is already shipped out? if not, i assume Rick may want to have all 3 ship together? if so, do you mind having it all sent to you, Paul and i can just pick it up from you next week before the meet at Carpool?
