I'm not aware of anything made for the ti. (If there were, you likely would have seen them here.) There are few enough for the M3.
There are double gauge pods made for the driver side A-pillar for the E36 that fit VDOs. I think these would be the easiest out-of-the-box solution. I suspect that 2-3 gauges could be put into the vertical plastic plate just above the ashtray- but I think you're going to have to do it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you. I'm guessing they would take some effort to install, and even more to make them look good. __________________ *Except 318ti

http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22723  Provided you can do fiberglass work, it's VERY easy. This was my first ever 'glass project. I've yet to install gauges though, only have a water temp in there now with two empty slots __________________
