Manual 130's are 3.46, It would be craaazy fun with 3.85.. I'd imagine it'd be pretty fun to drift in with 3.85 LSD  .. Even the 135 feels a little slow untuned with 3.08
.. I'll sell you my 3.46 for cheap if you change your mind? Haha |
Good gearing is a combination of transmission ratios and a final drive ratio. BMW does a pretty excellent job from the factory with this, and the 128i is no exception. My final drive might be less aggressive than the M3, but my individual transmission ratios are more aggressive than the M3. One needs to look at the bigger picture when modding.
