I suppose for a built engine (and an unlimited budget), a 5-speed close ratio getrag and a 3.65 (or so) LSD from an Z3 or an M-coupe...

For a regular setup, 4.27 diff out of a 318iC (convertible) with stock getrag 240/5 is well-regarded, quick setup.

I want that diff... but then again I don't. Highway rpm's would be really up there...
somewhat of a teaser...
