hi guys,

my e24 (635csi) still has the original differential in the drive train, but i have a getrag 265/5 cr behind the motor (which has been worked). (also, fwiw, i have 18 inch simmons rims at the rear.)

currently the combined engine, gearbox and differential cause the car to run out (of revs) far too quickly, and simultaneously use far too much gas on the open road.

on a short track it's ok, but a longer track (like mount panorama @ bathurst, nsw) it's hopeless.

so you see, i use my car on the road and on the track. more on the road than track mind you.

anyway, i'm looking at a drexler replacement, but need advice on the differential type/ratio to use.

can anyone help me out?

cheers,
andrew.
