4:10 = Highway Disliker

[Lof8]

I've been dreaming of a taller rear ratio, although mainly because when running auto-x, I'm banging the rev limiter in 2nd gear on every course I've run so far.

Same experience here (with a 3.73). I just bought a 3.25. I'm looking forward to the lower highway revs too.

the easy solution is an engine that revs higher. :D

to who ever said 2.93 your right. the best freeway diff imo

2.93 ftw. Esp with a little boost.

I ran a 2.93 for around a year, no complaints.

It makes for heavenly 2nd and 3rd gear pulls.

Weird fact, my E30 gears out at 198mph w/ a 4.10 in it. LOL

i have the 4.10 front/back (AWD) and yeah 4k for 80 sucks but oh well... don't drive 80 or swap em. how does that compare with the 3.91? is it a pretty dramatic difference? (I bought my 5 spd swapped with the auto 4.10 from the manual 3.91:1 that came with it, thinking about turbo and not sure if I want to keep the 4,10s or not)

[OOMPH!]

How bad is the 2.93 in first gear from a start? I was really thinking about the 3.46......

Lot of good feedback in here, thanks guys!

My 325i vert(with a 2.93) is faster than my 318iS with a 4.1. I personally like it, but that car is just a cruiser.

I love my 2.93 on the highway low revs and 30mpg (well according to the Econogauge) with my ES but balls slow even with the chip. None the less its still fun to drive for how slow she is.

I drove my 2.93 with a unsprung 3-puck. I managed to never kill it from a stop, even on the uphills.
