I believe these are the stock ratios:

6MT
- 325i 3.23
- 325xi 3.38
- 328i 3.23
- 328xi 3.38
- 330i 3.15
- 335i 3.08
- 335xi 3.08

6AT
- 325i 3.73
- 325xi 3.91
- 328i 3.73
- 328xi 3.91
- 330i 3.64
- 335i 3.46
- 335xi 3.46

Thanks.
I bought the Wavetrac and love it. I have 20K hard miles on it without issue. I went with the stock 3.08 gear. With Quaife/Wavetrac the only choice you have is the 3.08 and 3.46. I cant hold traction in 1st and 2nd with the 3.08 so the 3.46 for me wasn't an option. My buddy has the 3.46 in his 335 and it does accelerate hard, although not as hard as mine He doesnt put the power down that I do so his drives great. Expect 5-600 more rpms in 6th on the freeway.
