I'm anxious to get through the break-in, so I'm driving around more than usual, and probably best to give the new tires a break as well. Hopefully in a month or so I'll be able to report back...

It is a blast
70mph is just a hair over 3000 rpm in 6th.

I know others have found ways to do it for less, but I bought a freshly rebuilt M LSD with polished 4.10 ring and pinion ($195 up-charge for polish) from Turner for $3270 including a $750 core deposit. Paid local shop about $320 for fluid and install. Decided to keep my stock diff and forego the core refund in case I want to swap back for resale, otherwise I'd be in for about $2820 total.
Just checked Turner's website, and it seems that the same setup now runs about $200 more. For those who may not know, Turner has the work done by Dan at Diffsonline. In fact, my diff shipped directly from him. Also, the pricing on Dan's website is no longer accurate (no page for E85/86 M, look up E46 M3), and he told me that a new website with new pricing is on the way. Price he quoted me was comparable to Turner's new price.
