That's great news Trovan. Interesting that while the power numbers are up from BMW's specs, the estimated 0-60 time is in line w/BMW marketing (5.3 vs mag's 5.1)
So I interpret that as this car is not an anomoly, BMW's power numbers are conservative on the car. However a 20% driveline loss seems high.

 

That car is impressive, its hp number at the wheels is right in line with the e46 m3. It does have a lot more torque across the band though, that is the key.

This is going to be a very interesting car to have in the lineup until the next m3 comes out. Can't wait to see what the aftermarket does with this.

 

exactly...should be interesting

 

And once people start throwing race gas, upping the boost a tad, bye bye ///m3's
