You lose a vent? Sure. But personally - BMW's heat and stuff is so good, I keep my heat blowing on my feet at about 70 degree's because anything more than that and I start to get WAY to hot.

Some people also didn't like the idea that the P3 gauge was on the left hand side and that it was smaller and harder to see. Also, some people really enjoy being able to show off some cool little bits like this.. and with the P3 gauge, no one can see it but you. lol

The current P3 V2 gauge, which has been out for a couple years now has all of the features you mentioned, plus more. The only thing it doesn't measure is torque, but it measures other things which you have not mentioned as well providing the feature of reading and deleting codes.

If you don't like that the P3 gauge is on the left hand side they also make one for the right hand side for the RHD market. For the same money (probably even less) as this one gauge alone I'm sure you could have two P3 gauges for each side of the car, one for you and one for your passenger to look at. Also you retain all of your AC vents.
Yes- the p3 has many of the same features. I have the latest p3 and it is a great product.

The p3 has the data, but scrubbing through the information is very slow and it can only display one reading at a time. This new gauge, has a ton more on screen data and a much better interface. It looks like a much superior product which is reflected in its price I crease over a p3. We won't know until someone gets one and does an actual review.
