I only know the E34 ratios and that the dogleg has a 1:1 5th where as the E34 4th gear is 1:1.

I think the M535 g/box ratios mean you need a diff ratio around 3-3.25 and the E34 g/box needs 3.46-3.64, LSD of course !

1 3.83
2 2.20
3 1.40
4 1.00
5 0.81

Does an E34 535 'sport' box have the same ratio's as above?
