Since I can remember, BMW has always been a great car but lacks certain components to be truly Ultimate. One being the proverbial oil pressure gauge. To help resolve this dilemma, one has to resort to the aftermarket like VDO, Autometer, AEM, etc. to source such a gauge. You can make your selection based on size, face back light, digital or analog, and electronic or mechanical. Regardless of your selection, you have to tap into the oil artery to monitor the engine oil pressure.

The Active Autowerke ODB, Oil Distribution Block was created just to solve this problem

With a 12x1.50mm pitch, it mounts in the original position of the factory oil pressure switch, eliminating the need to drill or tap
Retains the factory oil pressure switch to still satisfy the oil warning light in the instrument cluster
Has a dedicated port to install an additional electric oil pressure sender or fitting to connect a mechanical oil pressure feed
Can be used by turbochargers or superchargers requiring an oil feed sourceu00a0

Design feature of the Active Autowerke ODB

Has to be small and compact. One could drill and tap a block of aluminum to do the task, but... The ODB is the smallest 2 part ODB on the market currently for BMW application today
With a 2 part unit, the rotating design allows for a FULL 360 degree rotation. This allows the sender (regardless of size) to rotate as it fits against the oil filter housing without any interference
