@ 65 you will still be in 5th. I'm @ 2,100rpm @ 80 in 6th gear. 4.10 gears.

The consensus is 4.10's for M6 and 3.73's for A4.

Most people will tell you not to waste your $ on gears for a 10 bolt, Just look for a 12 bolt or 9". You can find used 10 bolts with gears in the for sale section.

Check your local forun to see who local to you does gears.

I have an M6 as well and went with 4.10 gearing. I was very pleased with the improvement and RPMs are still low for highway driving. DO IT!!!
