I have a 2003 330Ci on order with NAV. I've seen the VDO cluster available for E46's but it seems to only install on models without NAV. Does anyone make other install kits I can use? I really want oil temp and pressure gauges. BMW should be ashamed for making a drivers' car without them.

I've spoken with Jon Maddux in the past about this...There simply isn't enough space in the lower storage/ashtray console to make the gauges work. However, several suppliers (Bavarian Auto) sells a different solution that mount on the A pillar.

You mean where the HPS airbag is?

That's what I was thinking. A-Pillar is out if I have to disable the HPS.

It is possible to mount gauges on place of the curved ash tray. Z4 has curved ashtray and you can bet we will offer gauge packages for Z4s.

But I'd need a day with a car (E46) here in Seattle at my house.

It will not be cheap either.

Let me know if you need my car Jon. Maybe we can think of something new for my car (LOVE my VDOs!!!) Oh, I was able to find a bulb cover for the EGT gauge.
