The E53 uses a open tc just like E46. (But with a chain instead of gears)
I think the E53 3,07 only applies to 3.0d manual, that's where mine came from atleast :)

EDIT: Front diff availability was a strong influence in my decision to go with a TR6060 for my swap. The E53 3.0d vehicles had a 3.07 front end with a "large pinion" case, but those were not sold in the US market. The E46 330xd went as far down as 2.35 with a manual transmission.
However, with the 260 available to you, you're looking at better options than I was.
*It also appears the 3.0 Z3 came with a 3.07 Torsen Diff

I don't think anyone's taking about the E53 T-case. If you could hack the E53 traction control module and use it to control the latter ABS, that might be interesting for off-road uses. I don't think anyone wants to use brake-based traction control in an on-pavement performance application, though.

M3 bars will not fit. the only reason they might have a "different" bar is because of the engine, the basic chassis of the E30 M3 is identical to the standard E30.

I think I have a 3.23 R&P from an E46. it's got some dings in it, but it could be used for mock up. I'd like to be rid of it - want it for the cost of shipping?

3.64 and ZF would be horrible together! that would work on a 6 speed.
I keep going back and forth on whether I want a taller ratio or not with my G260. it's not like I DD it or drive it long distances. The short gearing is a blast around town and on back roads. 3.91 would still be plenty short, but I already have good working 4.10s.. and with a 7500rpm redline, it would be fine.

I have an E46 3.23 front diff on the shelf.
3.64 is a decent ratio for use with the Getrag 260, which can work with the 24V engines with the right front case.
