That link has the part numbers... but still can't find the technical details, especially the individual gear ratios.

Btw, to those with local 1994/95 E36 325i(M), what's your rpm reading on 5th gear at 110km/h (on stock gearbox and rear diff.)?

I'm getting a little over 2900rpm, but upon checking my speedo calibration, it's over-reading by about 5km/h, so it's actually around 2900rpm at 105km/h, or approx 3000-3100rpm at 110km/h. Is this about right or way off? I'm on 215/45R17 tyres, rolling diameter is similar to stock 205/60R15, to within 0.28%.

Pls check ur rear diff......It shld be 3.15....

or u can always check wit the previous owner either the diff change b4 to get better acceleration .......

For me 110 @ 3000rpm is high for 325 (M).....but i just compared wit my E34 525 manual wit 3.64 ratio n getting 110@ 2700 rpm....
