 Diff ration change in E38 - QUICK opinions please!!
Hopefully I can get this answered this morning, bit I have the option or replacing my stock 2.93 diff with the following as my pricing and options:
DAN with DIFFONLINE
3.45 lsd for $2400
3.64 lsd for $2045 - he recommended this for real fun!
Koala Motorsports
3.15-3.64 lsd for $2750-2850
VAC - rude on the phone, wasn't very helpful
3-15-3.45 lsd for $2500 +/- 200
Now, seeing that I am coming from a 91 M5 to this vehicle, the speed, handling, and and rear drifting of the car is completely different. Without giving me crap for the size of the car, I would like to be able to slid the back out every once in a while, do burn out's like I was able to before, and not be a one legger either. Since I have done the motorwork to the car, I have no bottom end anymore (personal opinion) and would like to regain that and more. Going to the stock 3.15 that comes in the 740 Sport/M5 would be fine for most...which is why in this heavier car I feel fine won't be enough. I don't mind losing gas mileage or topend as my bike will get 40mpg and do 180. I wanna stomp people on the streets, have a daily driver, and be a total sleeper for now. In yours guys opinions, what would be too aggressive or just right for the person who wants a fat ass luxo barge, but is still trying to be sensible also. Thanks alll!!
