BMW E46 Oil and pressure gauges

Hello guy’s, My name is Ventsi and I have been for quite some time on this forum, but I have never posted something because i just did the normal maintenance on my car. My plan is to go for a drive on the Hockenheimring and many other track day’s after that. Therefore, I wanted everything to work perfect and in the last weeks I installed the first important thing for me. But there was very little information about pressure and temperature gauges for the E46 and I thought that this could be helpful for someone.
The installation is very easy and straight forward.

I connected all positive cables together to a 5A Fuse. The easiest way for the negative cables is to connect them to the negative terminal of the cigarette lighter. Then there are 2 data cables which have to go to the motor and the temperature and pressure sensors. There is a little pass behind the glove box which can be used for this. I also put some rubber mounting glue on the pass, so there isn’t any water coming inside.

On the motor side I wanted to connect everything behind the oil filter. But there is very little space to work and for the sensors, so you have to be careful with your hands. I also had to drill out one of the connectors so the temperature sensor can fit in and with the other connector mounted on the top there was enough space for everything.

After this you need a good position for the gauges. I placed them in the middle consol and made a simple mount. This is all and it works perfect.

I use the gauges and sensors from Raid Hp Night flight series, and they have a great visibility and are pretty precise.

(I apologize for my English, but I don’t use it very often and it’s not my native language).
