Hi All,

I put this together a long time ago but neglected to post it. Here was some analysis about what it looks like to have the different final drive options and where it would put the shift points and top speed.

The top speed didn't matter for me, but after staring at it, I decided I liked the stock E82 6MT Final Drive of 3.08 based on the 2nd to 3rd shift points. For the tracks I'm on (Laguna, Sonoma, T-Hill) it seems like I would be shifting more with the 3.46.

Enjoy,
-m
