I am also interested in this pod. I have already pm'd him, he says he's gotta get his hands on a 1er to get dimensions for a perfect fit.

Maybe if we can get enough interest, we can get this moving quicker.
Group buy maybe?

Hey guys...
I am working on it!

Just need to get my hands on a 1er for a few days

My plan is to get an "extended" test drive from my local dealer, and check it out

can somebody get me some detailed pics of where the a-pilar meets the dashboard? pics from all angles, including from outside the car

That would speed things up...

Thanks!

*sigh* my camera took a nice...long...and destructive fall down the stairs. Gotta go to Costco and buy another soon. I can guarantee that ill get them up for you but I do not know when I can make it to Costco. Can someone else pitch in here to help in the meantime?

Also, Rixst3r can you possibly show a DIY on how to connect the vacuum hose and where you plugged in your power/ground? I have installed several gauges before but none on a BMW and I do not think it wise to go poking around wires in that general area.

Thank You for all your dedication and hard work!

Thanks guys... I will be posting a DIY for the 335 boost gauge kit in about 2 weeks, most everything will apply

When I finish the 135 version, it will come with install instructions as well as have its own DIY.

I say go for a Defi boost gauge, they have memory in them so you can review the data.

You guys are mistaken...

this is WAY below the airbag, this pod sits on the dash... its not an a-pilar pod... its a dash pod.

Don't beleive me? pull off your a-pilar cover and see... its a good foot above where my pod is located...

I've seen cars with deployed HPS airbags. I wouldn't want anything near the a-pillar when it goes off.
