I have a similar commute. Well, I did before work from home.

Would the ratio being slightly less aggressive help at all in your opinion? There is also a 3.62 from a 330i that I'm considering for my E91.

I considered the same. But that 330i diff is different and has a guibo type connection. So it's not a direct fit for later cars. Same with the 3.91 from the xdrive cars. So 3.73 is the plug n play approach.
