Somewhere in the past history of the car, someone swapped differentials. 3rd @ 115mph isn't standard.

gear ratios

yeah and my car is 03/87 and it has a 173 motronic. I like some of that info is off.

no its right info. At some point the 153 must have shit the bed and was upgraded to a 173 I know this because I have one in my 87 as well and my 90 is running a 153 with a chip

Also speaking of standard features My 90 325i has no rear heat vents. All my pre 88s that I have owned or taked apart have had vents was this an option or did they just not come with them in 90???
