Yeah sorry should have said, its a e34 model. Has the original Auto diff (unsure of ratio) and have now got a getrag 250 in it. Revs i bit on the highway and 1st is pritty much useless. Just would like to know what ratio would suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just would like to know what ratio would suit. yea look for 3.15 or 3.23(i can get one that will bolt in approx $300+) or 2.97 same ratio's arnt easily got hold of for a e34 so you might have to make one up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted September 3, 2012 Just decide where you want to be revving @ 100kph of whatever, do some maths, and you will know what ratio to look for.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again. Edit: The 210mm Large case was only fitted to the M5 and 540i e34's all the others had the 188mm medium case diff (Just for future reference as i found little info about this online) Just decide where you want to be revving @ 100kph of whatever, do some maths, and you will know what ratio to look for.. Yeah, done all that just wanted to know what the original ratios where for the box. Edited September 16, 2012 by subyrex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
