    All mine are OEM, unless there was something better or not made by BMW. I'm at about 89K.

    I'd skip the Dinan goodies. I have a throttle body, intake, and tune and I couldnt even pull on a friends standard auto 330.

    Well that’s good to know. That’s disappointing

    I don't have any data on how various 330's stack up against each other, but that might be a reflection of the automatic's shorter gearbox, which would strengthen the case for doing the same. Now, I'm NOT saying the shorter gearbox will necessarily get you to 60 faster but, in a given gear, it will pull harder, and it will get to higher speeds more quickly.

    LSD + wheels would be my recommendation for most noticeable performance gains. also a good tune.

    edit: i see you already have done wheels.

    I have a 3.38 rear end sitting in the garage waiting for a free weekend to go in the car. My rough math told me that it would result in ~10% more torque to the wheels, so making the stock 222 lb-ft feel like 244. Is that the feeling you got with the 3.38?

    I want to do this at some point. Which E46s have 3.38 from the factory?

    I think all auto transmission non-zhp 330's. They have a sticker on top indicating the ratio. I got this one on eBay for like $150 shipped from California. It has almost 200k miles on it, but I just wanted something with the right input flange that I could swap in to see how I liked it.



    If the 3.38 doesn't bother me on the highway, then I have a 3.46 from a 325i (wrong input flange) that I'll send off to MFactory to do their thing.
