    Your stock ratio is 3.91... if u mean u want a higher ratio for acceleration. You should go with something around 4.3x or 4.4x.

    Yeah...Willy does have one of the sweetest BMWs around.

    But getting back to the rear diff...i picked up an original ///M ring/pinion gears from Korman a few years back for around $700 ... it has helped alot in acceleration...but if you go too short(higher) you will lose some rpms in the top speed area.

    Thanks guys..

    You can see if there are any BMWs that have the ratio you would want and remove the ring/pinon gearing out of it and install it into your current diff. But usually the labor for that is pretty hefty as well.

    A diff has always been called the poor mans Supercharger for a reason..
