The gains at the lower revs are well worth the loss of top end speed as we are limited anyway unless you track your car which I do not.
As far as the install goes, it was well in the realm of DIY using jackstands and following all safety precautions. There are lots of vids out there on how to R&R an E46 rear diff.

I agree, my shop told me I could probably do it myself, but I look at this car like it's a '64 Ferrari GTO for some reason haha. I may do it on my 325i though. I really don't mind the higher revs, even with the exhaust I have.
I see you're in Kitchener, if you ever need some nice rural back roads, give Goodwood a try. And if you see a moron in a Z4 running through gears like he's in a Le Mans series, it's probably me lol.
