Has anyone installed extra gauges in a 2011 Clubman S yet?
I have an A pillar mount that I purchased and would like to install a couple of gauges.
Just wondering how much work and how accessable they are to hook up.
Will I need special adaptors or should they hook right in?
Looking to add oil pressure and water temp.....
Thanks

 

It's like hooking gauging in any other R5x platform.
However, I haven't seen a properly clean a-pillar installation.
Many use the bracket kits that install behind the the tachometer.

The wiring and hose connections need to go through the firewall for oil pressure and water temperature.
Depending on what gauge package you get, they typically come with all the adapters to splice into the existing fluid lines.

If you're mechanically inclined, it's a half-day project or so for both gauges.

Cravenspeed has gauges and mounts available.

Another option is the Aeroforce gauge, it just plugs into your car's OBD2 port.

There is also Scangauge2, it also plugs into your car's OBD 2 port.

I just installed a twin setup in my MCS, Boost/H2O. Real simple process (assuming that you have tools), and you take your time.. you can have a super clean install.

 

thanks for the replies.I purchased an A pillar mount from England thats pretty sweet.
Still trying to decide which Gauges to buy.I do most mods myself so shouldnt be a problem just didnt know if there would be any problems.

 

Full trim replacement? Or just a bolt-on / self-attached pod?
I'm very interested in a full trim replacement (or fabric wrapped) if it's available.

Not a full replacement. I havent seen them yet.
It is a bolt on.Still deciding if I want to leave it black or match the tan pillar....

 

GDS194 -- those look great! The R53 had a water temp gauge on the speedometer...I wonder why they took it out?

Anyway, I'm going to go the route you did; Thanks for posting about it.

 

Surething.... I also have other photos in my Gallery.
