As promised in my previous post, this is the almost finished product. I think it would look perfect with a coat of Plastidip over the bezel. But pretty much this is ready to be installed on the car. From my previous post I have made a couple of changes, now I have added 2 USB ports. One of the ports will be used as a data logger to monitor the parameters of the engine which I can analyze later.
I am happy to say that whilst I haven't written much over here for the past month or so, things were kicking in the background with the Raspberry PI project. After my previous post, seeing that everything is working as expected, it is time to integrate everything nicely in the E90 dashboard. Below are some pics with the 3D printed board, at the moment this is still a rough draft, the finished product will have no hard or uneven edges. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks :)
Most people would say just that...It's only a car. However for most us, this is our car. A car that drives our passion, that drives our dreams.
To me my dream came true when I first drove a BMW. The first car was a BMW 318i (e46), a car with a small and modest engine however it had something, something I couldn't find in other cars. As soon as I turned the ignition, it was like a spell was cast on me. It created a bond, a connection that I couldn't feel in other cars. To this day I don't know what it is but it fuels my passion for this brand and it's cars. A passion that has driven me in buying a BMW, a 320D (e90). I wanted to share my passion with you and the on-board journal I will be keeping with our time together :)
