For your car would be the 3.45 gears. The shorter gearing would provide a calculated torque increase of 18% The cost is less than $2000. you can order and have it installed at your local BMW dealership.

I agree with this. Of all the mods out there, the shorter gears will give you the feeling of more power than any other mod I can think of. If I do any performance mods at all, this will be it, aside from maybe the inexpensive K&N filter and charcoal filter removal. I will more than likely wait for a sale tho. A 10% sale will go a long way toward installation.

Word.... It gives the most 'feel of hp up your ass' when you press the gas than anything short of F/I. This is true for many cars with shorter gears installed. Best bang for the buck IMO.
