Which would be the better diff for my standard 325i, is it a daily driver.

3.25 or 3.73. (both LSD !)
Its currentley fitted with a 3.63

Well I guess my opinion doesn't count for much cos I've not driven an e30 on anything but an open 4.1 and an open 3.64 but I'd say you've got to ask yourself do you want acceleration or economy...

This gearing calculator will help you decide. you can find out what RPM you'll have for a given, gear, final drive, tyre size.

Looks like i will go for the 3.25. Better Motorway Milage & and it should cut down alot of the wheel spin in first gear in the wet.
