125i M sport making more power than claimed!!
Hi Guys
I came across this after doing some research around the 328i N20 motor http://www.supersprint.com/en/prod-p...hp_2012__.aspx as opposed to BMWs claim of 160kw at the crank this vehicle is making 170kw at the wheels which equates to roughly 200kw at the crank. very impressive indeed , makes me even more glad that i settled on the 125i seems to tie in closely with the 328i results too! http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...p-than-claimed |

Did you find your 125i got faster as it got run in?
I'm not that impressed with the performance (but my car is only on 800km), coming from a GTI which supposedly made 147kw but was said to actually make closer to 160kw. |

Just for reference, our 116i had 102 kW at the rear hubs. |

The 125i's output at the wheels is supposed to be a lot more than just 127kw. 127kw at the wheels is closer to what people have been coming up with a stock 118i. Anyway, supersprint is pretty reputable, so really I don't know what to think. |
