You may recall their first run netted 275rwhp and 300lb/ft torque at the rear wheels, which proves BMW's figure of 300bhp and 300lb/ft torque was quite underrated. First run implied the E92 335i was producing closer to 350bhp rather than the advertised 300bhp.  "In the weeks since we first published the results of that test, we’ve heard some criticism of our conclusion that the 335i makes "closer to 350 hp" than the reported 300. We arrived at that verdict after some quick calculations, but since a chassis dyno only reports how many horses make it to the wheels, it’s admittedly a hard number to verify. We did four runs with that particular car, and the actual peaks were 276, 280, 280, and 283 horsepower. We published the lowest number to be sure there was no claim that we were exaggerating the engine’s output. " Second time out, they observed a peah-hp rating of about 300rwhp!! Enough for them to proclaim "the results speak for themselves: this is one very powerful engine.
