Hi,

Okay found some info:

1. gear: 4,21
2. gear: 2,49
3. gear: 1,66
4. gear: 1,24
5. gear: 1,00

Okay found some info:

530i

1. gear: 4,21
2. gear: 2,49
3. gear: 1,66
4. gear: 1,24
5. gear: 1,00
r. gear : 3,85

Thanks, so assuming a 530i has the same 2.93 diff as the 528i, it will actually only do 125 km/h in 5. at 3000 rpm.

Seems low geared.
