The rolling road correct for power at the wheels to give power at crank which is what generally is always quoted. So in your case you've scaled it up twice. 87% is doing very well for a RWD car - seem unlikely to be that good.
? Couldn't really decipher what your post meant.
[quote=craigAMV8]Just sold an 04 plate m3 smg. Had DMS do some work on it and it then produced 373bhp, took it on the rabbit run for the last 3 years (check out their site www.rabbit-run.co.uk its an amazing event)and it did a true gps'd 176mph. I have just bought a V8 Vantage wich is lovely, but not a quick as the M3, I miss it a bit actually.
Pricy!
Pricy!

Ive heard these power claim rumours myself, which along with the vanos problems with the evo's is the reason I opted for the 3.0ltr non evo E36. Out of interest does anyone know if the 286bhp power claims on this engine were optimistic?
The 3.0 M3 power output is nearer to the claimed figure than the evo's.
