When will mini offer an OEM accessory boost gauge for the R55/R56?

I have seen all of the aftermarket options, I haven't been all that impressed. I wanted something functional but also stock-like. I don't want a glowing dash of goofy aftermarket gauges... There is still no JCW option... why wouldn't mini exploit it?

They are exploiting the "open-meter" but no boost gauge... absolutely stupid...

Well from the sounds of it probably never

They have just released the JCW Gauge set and there is no Boost Gauge available.

They have:

Temp Gauge
Relative Torque Gauge
Lateral G guage

The closest i have found are the AutoMeter Phantom II. They are very close to the Mini Gauges during daylight. but at night the show up white on black. I think it is possible to change the LED's to a more orange collot to match the mini.
