After-market Gauges?

Does anyone know if the following after-market gauges / gauge package(s) are or will be available for the 2007 MCS as they were for the previous model?
  • Turbo boost
  • Oil pressure
  • Oil temperature
  • Water Temperature (especially since the new engine has an aluminum block)
For example:

Thanks!

oil pressure gauge Vs. warning light

For those who may wonder, here's one example of how an oil pressure gauge can alert an owner to an issue before it becomes a crisis:

Also, check out the following link:

I agree oil pressure is a very important gauge and most of the cars today are dumbed down to the lowest denominator. How can people talk on the cell phone and watch the oil pressure gauge. Never mind understand what the gauge is doing....but a big red light is another story.

After market gauge products

I've been wondering the same thing. What happened to the chrono pack?

Craven offers a quad bracket and Rogue seems to have a nice selection of gauges to fill the holes.

I don't know anything more but I would sure like to add some on my soon to be ordered R56. My MA says Mini might come up with their own aftermarket additions but nothing yet for the 07.

The perfect addition...............

This could be the answer to the gauge question we all (or perhaps a few of us)have been searching for.....Just need a couple of things....Craven or Alta has to manufacture a gauge pod........ and MSD needs to release these....

Yeah, I was looking at putting together a custom 30psi Vacuum/Boost gauge and a Oil Pressure gauge from www.speedhut.com.

The mounting is an issue right now, though... what to do, what to do.

This is my first post everyone, so be gentle. Getting ready to order an '07 MCS with all the JCW stuff that's available pretty soon. I had an '05 JCW and had Mini's aux gauges that were mounted below the stereo/temp controls ($450 option). They looked great and I want the same for my R56. I saw an aftermarket dealer that had this for R56 a short time ago for $240. Unfortunately, I forgot who offered it and can't find it now. Can anyone help? I personally don't care for the pods behind the steering wheel. Thanks!
