Running a 346 diff with an automatic 240d would change the acceleration from really really slow to glacial. Once up to speed I believe it probably would cruise at whatever speed you like and slightly beat a 240d with stock ratio on mpg. Crossing busy intersections and merging ramps would be an exciting adventure though.
