Re: Oil Temp/Pressure

[Dog-n-Hog <woody@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

BMP Design (www.bmpd.com) has all you need.  I'd suggest VDO all the
way for guages/senders (just like your current instrumentation).

The sending unit (part #31811) has terminals for the guage and the current idiot
light.  It requires an adaptor  for proper mounting to the currrent oil pressure
sending unit location (part #31851).

The VDO oil temperature sending unit (part #31791) replaces the current
oil pan drain plug.

Wiring can be routed via any of the currrently existing passthroughs in the
firewall (choose one near the driver's compartment).

Contact United Speedometer and Instrument, Inc. (I do not know their web
page address) for a full selection/catalog of VDO guages/accessories.  Their
phone number is 909-684-0292 (as of 06/94).

On my 85 325e I installed the guages (oil pressure, oil temperature, voltmeter)
to the left of the steering wheel under the main instruments (on the drop down
kick panel).
