Take the cover off. Numbers wil be stamped on the ring gear. Divide the big number by the small number and thats your ratio.
For example, a 373 wil have 41 and 11. So 41 divided by 11 is 3.73

It depends on what you want to do with the car. Its all personal preference. The lower ratio you go on gear, the smaller therefore weaker they become in the stock 10 bolt.

This would put you right at a 4.10 gear. Assuming you have a stock size tire and were in 6th gear.
If the op was in 6th gear when he took the reading then he'd be right around 85 with 3.73 at that rpm it sounds like he has 4.10s
Not really 3.73's wouldnt be much difference over stock and wouldnt be worth it, 4.10s are the go to gear with an m6 so that makes sense it would have those
