Could it just be that power loss is controlled much better through a more efficient build than your typical cars that you're dynoing with 20% losses? I'm sure it is still underrated but to say it is underrated by 30 or 40 hp is a bit crazy. What is the advantage for BMW?
couldn't they just say "class leading hp" by saying its a 340hp 3.0liter inline6 that still has good fuel economy?

I'm thinking it is probably making 310ish at the crank... but I would be surprised if it is much more than that.
