keep your diff it is a good ratio :) just swap the box...

:rollsmile: If i'm correct you have a e90 6 speed fitted, would it still be okay with my diff?

i have an e90 box yes :) but 3.38 is not too short for a 5 speed :rollsmile:

if you serious about this im not sure my 5 speed will be best because its not as strong as the ones they use in the 330i im not sure how long it will last with an extra 50Nm, but then again i have not seen any failures with supercharged 323i :)

Would have liked to head in the direction of a 6 spd box but there might be a 5 spd avail from a 323i :fencelook:

If you keeping the auto diff then its advisable to go with a six speed box as it will be undrivable on the freeway and you lose alot of top end

the 330i has a 3.38 diff in auto it will not rev too high on the freeway... a six speed will be better but its not necessary... it will rev to 3412 at 120kph... if it had a 3.91 it will rev way to high

But 3.91 is so much more fun to play with :fencelook:
