35i Actual Horsepower

Car and Driver June 2010 issue, page 118.

In an article related to Dinan's tuning of the 300HP Turbo engine, Dinan is quoted as saying.....

" ...BMW's twin turbo inline-six comfortably makes more than the advertised 300 horsepower in stock form."

Based on their math, the turbo actually puts out about 324 horsepower.

That's cool. Did they mention anything about the torque numbers?

Dinan's dyno quotes stock at 332hp and 333 lb/ft.

332 HP is even better than 324 HP

I wonder how much HP actually makes it to ground. Maybe 290 or so.

the boost tapers off in order to keep the turbos comfortably below their 230,000-rpm limit.
