50d engine power not up to BMW figures??
I recently saw 2 independent dyno test of 550xd, neither of them reached claimed 381hp.
The result were remarkably similar. Has anyone else also seen some other dyno tests?
Still hard to judge – maybe the engines were not fully run in or the petrol quality was low. I was also wondering what is BMW’s acceptable manufacturing tolerance in % of the claimed hp output.
Attaching one of the charts. Also I am not sure why the curve is kind of sinusiod shape in higher rpm...
Red is power, blue is torque
