E90 vs E92 Steptronic Gear Ratios

TinkySD · 12-30-2006, 11:30 AM

Looking at bmwusa.com technical specs the gear ratios for the e90 and e92 335 are identical, however, the final drive listed for the e92 is a shorter 3.46 compared to the listed 3.08 for the sedan.

My question is do you guys know if this is a typo where they just used the manual cars final drive ratio or is the gearing in the sedan really ~10 percent longer across the board?

The sedan brochure that can be downloaded shows 3.46 so I think it is safe to assume that the 3.08 is an error.
