I'm pretty sure they are in the manual - right at the back?

I have the official figures...
1st - 3.72
2ns - 2.02
3rd - 1.32
4th - 1.00
5th - 0.81
R - 3.45
said ratios are the same on the 316i, 318i and 320i although the gearbox sizes I believe vary.

Does this mean fitting a box from an 89 316i to a 1990 IS won't make any difference??
