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.

The previous E90 328i with naturally aspirated 3.0 liter inline 6 was a really nice engine, too.
BMW rated it at 230 hp/200 lb-ft.
