      It depends on what transmission you are using. If you are running a E36 transmission then its perfect.

              good all around gear for stock driveability. If you use it everyday then it will be perfect.

                      If you go any higher than a 3.25, you will be shifting a lot....

                          True, but a 3.46 would be very manageable, but a little more fun! :D

                                  3.25 is short for everyday driving. its like a 4.10 with the stock g260...if you don't track, get a 2.93 (comparable to a 3.73 on stock gear)
                                  No more e30s for me.

                                      are we talking on a turbo car? or just NA?

                                          Ah you rock, i had this exact question in my head. Running at 4k RPM going 75 sucks.

                                                  I would highly suggest a 3.25 for an NA swap.
