I once asked about this here on forums. Didn’t even know something like this existed. I want this in my 46 but i still didn’t pull the trigger on it yet, cuz there is ton of work and thousands of €€ ahead.
However it won’t display oil pressure.
 
I used this on my car recently. I too was worried about the fitment and build quality. When it got delivered to me I instantly replaced both lower O-rings with genuine BMW ones. Then I removed the centre tube section that is held in place by 3 small bolts and used red loctite on them just in case. So far it’s good. No leaks, oil pressure is present and it just works. I am running a standalome oil temp sensor on it for my analog oil temp gauge. To be fair though I didn’t test it on a daily basis, since the car is not roadworthy yet, but I drove the car a bit on the backroads and it did get some full heat cycles.
