Check out the Mirror adjustment boost gauge spot

Not my car. But never seen it done like that before. I wouldn't want to look down to see the boost, but it's probably not that bad, and it has a clean look to it.

Creativity they get points but function wise like someone said, is a HUGE FAIL.

I can understand a litttttttttttttle if it was like oil temp or water temp but something critical? Something you need to glance at alot during driving? I think they are idiots for doing that.

Usually only the owners drive their 7, so you adjust it for you, and it's good to go. I'm assuming he just left it inside his door panel hooked up and taped down or what not. I never adjust my mirrors. Just the one time when i bought it, to adjust for my driving.
