P3 Cars Digital Gauge

I just installed my P3 Cars digital gauge display and i'm in love. The OEM sleek look is exactly what I was looking for. Even the LED display is matched to the color of the BMW controls. They clearly pay close attention to detail with each one of their display units.

From the minute I turned the vehicle on after install (which only took 10 minutes) it was simple to use. I didn't even read any instructions I just began pressing buttons and it was easy as pie. I couldn't resist scrolling through the different display options which include boost, coolant temp, air intake temp, speed, rpm with shift bars, battery voltage, throttle pressure, and my favorite of all 0-60 time. 0-60 time is amazing. Once this mode is selected the gauge states "stop" after the car is brought to a stop it says "ready" then you floor it and once the car reaches 60mph your time is displayed. Im sure i'm going to be using a lot more gas now than I used to!

I highly recommend this product to those of you who are into modding your vehicles. If your like me, i'm looking for the next latest and greatest items for my car. And I can honestly say, this is it.

For more info check out their website: p3cars.com
Tell them you read about it on Bimmerpost from Bentley Barker and i'm sure they'll hook you up.

This is a great gauge, but I don't think you'll be able to measure boost accurately with your piggyback. This gauge measures boost from the OBD2 port rather than from an analog boost sensor.

I just installed mine and you have the option of hooking up differently so you read your boost correctly

Yes, but so far the only person who I've seen install an analog gauge had to fabricate a spacer near the map sensor and tap into it for a signal. Not exactly pnp.
