well i wont be power shifting or beating the hell out of it thats for sure. I have never had a m6 car before always had a4 cars all my life. Im ready to have an m6 now though. hopefully the 10 bolt holds up for a while until i can buy a 12 bolt. thanks for the help guys.

I say S60. I ordered mine and it was a direct bolt-in. You have to get a shorter drive shaft but if your going to do the rear the drive shaft is another weak part of the drive train. I got my S60 with drive shaft shipped for $2,830.
Here is a link to a thread I started about it on a local board:

9" is what, $980 and the S60 is something like $1100-1200. It really then depends on what you plan to make for power. If you're going to go ***** out, then the weight of the S60 won't really matter, but if you plan to go really fast with not a lot of power, the lighter 9" will be more what you're after.
What are you listing Tru Trac and Detroit for? You're wondering about carriers too? I say spool it and if you don't like full time posi on the street, then just get a factory 9" posi third member and some more streetable gears to run. When you get to the track, swap third members and off you go. It's no quick change, but it's not exactly a hard thing to do
Or just run one, with something like this.

well yes - you go out to try to break it, and you probably could. My 10-bolt lasted 30+ launches and some guy's don't last a couple.

I didn't say swapping REARS for the track. Third Member is a whole unit that pops out of the rears on a 9", it's really slick, and a shame no one else uses it.
