The new 328i is under-rated BTW. Apparently BMW listed the cars power @ the wheels or WHP.
Road & Track put the new 328i on their DYNO because it felt stronger than 240hp and it put down far quicker acceleration #'s.
The result: 240WHP / 257ft-lb.Tq
So when you factor in the typical RWD drive train loss of ~ 15% the actual #'s made by the N20 is closer to 275hp / 295ft-lb. Tq
They achieved a 5.7 0-60 and a 14.1@99 in the 1/4mile which is far quicker than the previous 328i.
