E46 Steering Column Mounted Gauge Pods

Billet Aluminum.  Strong.  Very Functional.

These steering column mounted gauge pods for the E46 are an excellent alternative to A-pillar mounted gauges where your airbag is located.

For use with E46 M3 or non-M cars with 3-spoke steering wheels or aftermarket steering wheels.  4-spoke steering wheels have a "bulkier backside" and less clearance for the gauge bar.

This gauge pod system easily attaches to your factory upper steering column cover.  Simply remove your upper column cover and install the new retaining nut.  Reinstall your upper column cover and then attach the gauge pods.  Installation is clean and simple and requires basic hand tools.

Unlike other gauge holders, these pods are available in 60mm or 52mm (2 ¹/₁₆ inch).  You may mix and match the pods to accommodate the gauges you want.  If you ever swap out gauges for a different size, simply purchase an extra pod of the correct size and install.  There is no need to buy a whole new system.

Steering column mounted gauges are more stealth looking and make for a cleaner, factory style installation.

Gauge pods and center bar are CNC machined from aluminum, glass bead blasted for a matte finish and then anodized black.  This reduces glare from the gauge pod system while keeping the black color and good looks of a CNC machined piece.

Gauge pods will pivot independently or can be swapped from left to right even if a staggered 52mm / 60mm setup is used.

NOTE₁: We provide an allen wrench with these kits so you can swap gauge pods left to right or adjust them without purchasing any tools.

NOTE₂: Included are several strips of felt tape that may be placed on a gauge to give it a snug fit in the pod.  Not all 52mm or 60mm gauges are exact size.
