This is a custom-designed, 3D printable vent gauge holder specifically made for the BMW E46 platform (1998–2006).
Designed to fit directly into the center air vent, this holder allows you to mount a standard 52mm gauge (boost, AFR, oil temp, etc.) in a clean, OEM-style location—perfect for performance monitoring without sacrificing interior aesthetics.
This model was created approximately one year ago and has been in continuous use since. Printed in PLA, it's proven to be durable and reliable, even with daily driving and varying cabin temperatures.
Details:
Compatible with any standard 52mm (2-1/16") gauge
Designed for a snug fit into the center air vent of the BMW E46 dashboard
Clean look that blends into the factory interior
Easy to install and remove
Printing Recommendations:
Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS (PLA tested and working well)
Layer height: 0.2 mm recommended
Infill: 20–30% is sufficient
Orientation: Print face up for best surface quality
Notes:
Gauge is press-fit, but a drop of adhesive can be used for extra hold if needed
Tolerances may vary slightly depending on your printer calibration
You can still retain partial airflow from the surrounding vent slats, depending on how you mount it
