<E36><M3>Differential Ratios

["Franklin W. Nelson" <fnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a late production (8/95) '95 M3.  According to Korman's website, I'm
supposed to have a 3.15 lsd.  However, when I do the calculations (using the
formula also provided by Korman) it keeps coming up 3.23.  I thought only
auto trans cars (mine's a manual) and LTW's came with 3.23's in '95. Can
anyone explain this? Is there any way (other than driving the car and doing
the calculations) to verify what ratio I have in my car? I was getting ready
to put in a 3.46, but if I've got some sort of rare factory setup I may want
to leave it alone.  The car also came with LTW wheels.
