Could somebody confirm what the standard rear diff ratio should be for a 1988/89 318i ?

Is it 4.10:1 ?

Or is it 4.27:1 ?

Or is it something else ?

Help would be appreciated.

Cheers !

That differential table is just what I had been searching for. Just goes to show google isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Thanks again. :D
