Looks cool! That's a really good location, if you don't mind the radio delete.

That's one of the great features of the Stack gauges.
The thresholds for color change can be set.
That way the gauges catch your attention when needed w/o looking at them
Eg. If you reach hi temp that you would want to shut down.
They can also flash.

That's one of my current projects to relocate to the same dash location as you but mounted a little differently.

Hey guys quick question for those who have done this, to route ((root) no sure what the correct pronunciation for that is) the wires, how have you guys done this, where did you put them through the firewall? and did you have to pull the whole centre console up? How much of a night mare is that to do?

cheers

I have a non M of course but routed the wires through the firewall where the sound generator used to be. It got deleted when I went FI.
Inside the car I remove the little cover plate under the HVAC controls for access to grabbing the wires and pulling them through. A straightened out coat hanger is good as a "fish line"
Not sure how your "gauge pod" attaches to the console. I had to fully remove the console to install the 3D pod.

I think I remember seeing an unused hole or two in the firewall covered with rubber plugs, for wiring or hosage that we don't have on the ///M.

I took mine through the grommets that are on the right side, where the main harness comes through.
