I'm sure that towing played a role in the gear choices, especially 1st/2nd. You'll trash the clutch if the gears are too tall. Personally, I like short, tightly spaced gears as long as I can get a decent highway gear. The X5 is actually geared fairly similarly to my E30 M3 with S54 swap.

There was no need to discuss superchargers and detonation. This is a diff thread. That is why I didn’t bring it up. I posted a video of a noisy E53 because, the op suggested I ride shotgun with him for an extended period of time to hear his M54 sounding off. I think the op is more concerned with the sound his M54 is making versus his gearing . Quote:
If you’re constantly on the open road at highway speeds, with zero traffic, just cruising and you don’t mind the loss of acceleration, then change the ratio. But if you’ve driving in town, on the highway, traffic, stop and go, etc. fuel economy may take a hit. E53 RiPPeR XOuTPoST jUNkiE ReVELaTiON 22:21

Well the op needs to decide whether it is all worth it to try and quiet his buzzing M54. Some sound deadening maybe? I’ll be sticking with my gearing. That’s my plan. ![]() E53 RiPPeR XOuTPoST jUNkiE ReVELaTiON 22:21

I will note that new engine mounts might accomplish more of what OP wants than changing the gearing. The engine is a lot quieter when the mounts aren't collapsed. And if they haven't been changed, they ARE collapsed.
