You need a 3.64 or a 3.46, you might find first is too short with a 3.73, i've got a 3.64 but i want to swap for 3.46 because it's a bit short geared for me.

The above assumes E32/34 gear box and you have tyres that maintain stock rolling radius

A Z3 with a LSD?

The only Z car that came with real LSD's were the Z///M ones.

The only Z car to have a clutch type LSD was the ///M coupe and ///M roadster.

The others had a trosen based LSD which is really no good.
