BMW Motorsport got 440 bhp out of a full race prepped S54B32 with open exhaust, race fuel and Motorsport ECU.
So with 415 bhp on DynoJet being equivalent to 332 bhp in the rest of the world, quite believable.

440bhp out of 3.2 6 cylinder is pretty amazing.

That definitely changes a lot of interested buyers' minds...

Newbies to the E46 M3, probably wouldn't know. That car is also known as BHS M3. Dyno sheets and vids are all over m3forum long time ago. Yes, that was when Scott(Divextreme) haven't got his 996 TT and supra. Long time ago. Here are some of the clips that I could find. There are some magazine articles about that car.
Here's Scott(Drivextreme)'s supercharged Stage 2 M3 vs BHS M3

Bimmer Magazine shoot of 3 of the fastest M3(considered at that time anyway). BHS M3 was in there.

Not to mention M3 GTRs are ***** slapping porshces left and right so hard that FIA had to ban them since it's seems almost unfair for teams that uses P-cars. So, BMW went back to straight 6s aka S54s and still competitive and dominated. Just search on google about M3 GTRs and PTG M3s.
Some people considered S54 as one of the finest engines to be produced by the BMW since it's their last of the famous straight 6 configuration which BMW started making in WW2 fighter airplanes. So many awards won, http://www.ukintpress.com/engineofth...nners/3_4.html Oh well, we'll see about their new V8s and 10s as time goes on.
