where to install oil pressure gauge

Hi guys, just a question about installing an oil pressure gauge.

Does anyone know where to install it in the engine bay? I have seen a picture somewhere on this forum where there should be a place to install it, somewhere at the left top of the mini logo in the engine, but If I look there at my Cooper S, i see the oil filter???

Maybe someone who has done this can help me out, or show me a pic of it. Also it would be nice to know what the thread size is of the sensor to use.

Greetings,

Tom

Located on the oil filter housing,bottom part of the housing is an existing pressure switch,this is removed and a T piece fitted .Then refit the existing pressure switch to one side and your new pressure switch to the other side. BMW part no 118360 is a fitting for testing the oil pressure with a remote gauge ,buy one of these and use the smaller thread to fit T piece to--easy eh
