But the higher FD will add torque at the wheels which is we measure power when modding. But I agree that perhaps it isn't really part of "FBO," IMO because it's more of a preference mod...
I dunno, I'm on the fence about it. I'm tempted to say that the 328 with higher gears is absolutely preferred by an "enthusiast / spirited driver," but I've yet to personally experience the gears in this car in particular. The stock gear ratio is definitely lazy though and designed for the typical 328i owner vs. let's say the M3 owner (enthusiast).
