The vendor has to be incented to make the product. For reference, the competition (for the x6 anyways) makes a centre dash mounted gauge and it costs about 1400 euro. So relatively speaking ,$500 is not a bad deal is it, even if that is the final price (not yet confirmed - but will probably depend on the level of interest).

Also, for about $150-$200, you can get a mechanical boost gauge. The Rixx gauge has an electronic boost/vac reading, plus temp, timing, EGT's (etc etc) built in. Thats where I see the value, beyond its obvious advantage in aesthetics.
