    US cars never go the 3.91 .

    Was available option for the rest of the world though on the early cars .

      Sorry to burst your bubble but I am pretty sure you're wrong on that one.

          325ix 5-speed

          uses a VC clutch though, not sure how well that works on a RWD car.

            I could have sworn some auto B25 cars had a 3.91 aswell.

                No 325's in the US got 3.91's (not sure about iX). I do believe the 3.91's came on some 318i's but in the smaller casing.

                  IX stickshift has it in large case.

                  Early 318s may have had small case ones.

                  Later E24 autos had it in large case. You'd have to swap the rear cover and possibly flanges to make it work though.

                    Here we go again.

                    Early 325e's had 2.79's, later 325/325e's had 2.93's, most 325i/is' had 3.73's except for the later 325i/is automatics which got 4.10's.

                    325iX did have the viscous 3.91 in all '88 cars and 5 speed cars after '88, they got the viscous 4.10 in the auto tranny cars from '88-up.

                    That's about it for the 6 cyl E30's sold in USA.

                        Over here in SA we only got them on our 325iS Evo 2 , in the UK I know they got them on the M-Tech 2 325i Sports.

                        All our 325i came out with 3.64:1 and our 323i came out with a 3.64:1 LSD
