Hey SAU

I would like to start by saying I love my 'line.

I have the mod bug. Always happens, no surprise here. I class it as my hobby :P.

So the reason for MFD is I stumbled up the Nismo limited edition LCD Gauge cluster. Holy F*** anywhere from $800 upward is crazy. And that is if you can find one. Is it made out of panda or something?

So then me being a tight ass and looking for something similar but for fraction of the cost found the ARC MFD2. Pretty cool little thing, but still not cheap at $400.

Then there is always the HKS camp2, Epson pf-1 (or something) and the others that I forget what they are called for round about the same price as the ARC. But that is with no display device. ghey.

So I have done all the research that I possibly can and keep stumbling over the same results.

What have you guys done to minimise gauge clutter in the cockpit?

I would really like a standalone MFD but would like to not pay 400 pasos for it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Store it in the glove box to avoid any clutter:

You just lose room to put stuff in there, that's all...

Or replace the stock gauge area with the aftermarket gauges:

Then you'd have to move the A/C and the Stereo Unit to the glove box, or just not have it...

Holy s*** bro.

If you put gauges in the glove box, then are pretty out of site, which makes it a pain to see. And I like to keep my head unit and ac control.

If I wanted gauges in a awkward spot I'd put put two in the ashtray.

Whereas having a mfd I can have 6 sensors compacted into one :).

Maybe I'll just bight the bullet and buy a expensive one :S.

Unless someone knows of a cheaper option. *hint**hint*

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
