BMW E46 3 Series (1998–2006) 52mm Gauge Pod – Driver-Side Vent Mount
Your most-used vent. Now your gauge mount.
A single 52mm gauge pod that mounts in the E46's driver-side dash vent, with no drilling and no stick-on brackets.
What it does
Uses the driver vent
Mounts directly into the driver-side vent housing. No A-pillar pods, dash holes or stick-on brackets cluttering your interior.
One 52mm opening
Run boost, wideband, oil pressure, whatever your build calls for. Fits AEM, Autometer and any standard 52mm gauge.
No modifications needed
Remove the OEM vent fins and fit the bracket into the existing vent housing. That's it.
Angled toward the driver
Canted toward you for better visibility and less glare, the same driver-focused approach BMW used across the E46 interior.
Carbon fiber reinforced
Carbon fiber infused PETG is strong, rigid and ductile. It won't warp in summer heat or crack in the cold or during install.
