BMW E46 3 Series (1998–2006) Center Vent 52mm Gauge Pod
$34.95
Dead center. Right in your sightline.
A single 52mm gauge pod that mounts in the E46's factory center dash vent. No drilling and no permanent changes to your interior.
What it does
Mounts in the center vent
Uses the factory center vent housing as the mount, so there are no A-pillar pods, dash holes or permanent modifications.
One 52mm opening
Boost, wideband, oil pressure, whatever your build calls for. Fits AEM, Autometer and any standard 52mm gauge.
No modifications needed
Replaces the factory vent fins only. Drop the bracket in and you're done.
Angled toward the driver
Matched to the E46's interior sightline and canted toward you to keep the gauge readable and cut glare.
Heat and UV resistant
ASA is stable to 100°C, handles the cold, and holds its shape through seasonal temperature swings without warping or cracking.
Rattle-free fit
Made specifically for the E46 center vent housing for a snug fit with no play.
