Loved the old bimmer aviation gauge lites. Had a 318 is and 325is- awesome cars- almost purchased an e30 '88 m3- I'm kicking myself for not getting it. Mike

Red w/yellow to me is absolutely hideous.

Mooty your hatred for BMW is well documented but you're allowing emotion to cloud your otherwise brilliant thinking.

It was a real issue for the 996 series. I don't have any information for the 7 cars though. I think John was referring to his numerous 6 GT3s. : )

My 3 year old 997 GT3 had red dials and they looked perfect after 3 years.
