it really depends on what he wants to do with the car. there are a number of guys that track their DASC'd ti's and went with the 3.73 LSD for better performance. if all he does is drive around town, the 3.73 will also be fine. if he does a lot of highway cruising, the 3.73 could annoy him. the 2.93 is quite a bit lower (at least 15%). DustenT has the stock 3.45 LSD on his and it's holding up fine. could also have an e28 5er LSD rebuilt with the ratio you want and higher lockup if you wanted (stock is 25% and most places offer at least 40%). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
