With regards to diffs the sporty E30 models as a 3.91 ratio (this is the one I have for the Sportster). The E36's tended to have 3.15 in the 328. E36's also had a larger tyre rolling radius than the E30. Not sure on box ratios but the 5th gear tends to vary between models and range which is quite possibly why he's suggesting a diff change as well.
Richard's running a 3.38 diff on his M52B28 / ZF 5 speed which results in a top speed of 130mph. Get's there very quickly (as tested on the autobahn). He's got a 3.15 LSD top drop in at some point which will drop the rev a bit at cruising speed which should help economy a bit. The other reason for that change is that its barely worth using 1st gear when pulling away.
Saying that some nut cases run 4.41 diff with an M50/M52 conversion!
