Just got word back that RDSport has the ring and pinion. I was also asked if I want to get the 4.1 with LSD! I told Darwin to get quotes for 4.1 and 4.1 with LSD. Stay tuned. If all the numbers work this is going to happen quickly.

Yeah, it's going to happen and afterwards you and me, bro. I'm going to open a can of whoop azz on your 550i. HAHAHAHHA
|
what about the I6's, the 530's? :whistle:
|
I don't see a reason why the gearing can't be changed out from a Step to a higher number. That's all I'm going to do on my SMG.

Reviving the thread. :)
I was at CarLab, a tuning shop, in San Jose a few days ago. Darwin floated the possibility of changing the final drive ratio from 2.93 to 4.1. He mentioned that all that needs to be replaced is the ring and pinion. That there would be no need to swap out the existing diff for another one. Is this feasible and if so, where do I pick up the ring and pinion from? Maybe bimmerworld.com? I'm sure AlexFW will be happy to hear someone else is wanting to change the final drive ratio. I'm back to modding again. :D 4.1 would be crazy ... Don't make it! I would like to pass from 2.93 to 3.15 or 3.23 (-8% or -11%) . Bimmerworld has 3.15, 3.23 for $1000 . I think I will go with 3.15, because I have to travel to 140-150 kmh on the highway . Vegas, I suggest 3.46, for who live in US . |

diffsonline.com told me that on SMG the swap is possible, on the steptronic they weren't sure . And RD confirmed for SMG . Vegas, when will you make it ? I think after the summer, with 3.15 and LSD by Birds UK (check the thread some days ago) . |

If anything, I'll drop to a 3.91.
It's going to happen within the next two weeks. Guaranteed. |
