How Much Power Does A STOCK M140i Really Make?!

[@hampshirephoto]

For those wondering if my GPF/OPF/PPF filter had an affect on the power, please check out CarWow’s recent video of 2 RS3s (one pre facelift, one facelift GPF car) head to head...

[@willcasey7407]

It's certainly an interesting discussion point! If you look at the Golf R for example, pre GPF was 310ps and now they're 300ps again

[@Dokepredator]

Don't now whats wrong with the comparison from carwow but opf cars usualy have a higher 100-200 times, there are much videos about that on youtube...

[@steveknight1776]

The tune is different to make up for the losses from the restrictions from the particulate filter. It's been reported that the torque curves are different in a few cars.

[@JandLreptiles]

Steve is correct, the tune means the filter is taken into account to produce stated powers.

[@Dokepredator]

@Datdon Dondat wait, you say torque is the primary fact for acceleration 😅 that's just not true

[@clarkgavinst]

Really pleased with this result. Ive just purchased an April 2018 registered M140i shadow edition, as it didn't have the GPF filter fitted (it missed it). I run it on V-Power, knowing that they do run around 360bhp is exciting :)

[@impairsosa2663]

v-power actually isnt as good as they say try tesco premium you will probably gain anywhere upto 20 extra brake compared to v-power

360bhp sounds about right, according to other dyno testing companies too.

[@v811gfg]

Mine came in at 361bhp 2 years ago

[@JonBecker81]

I’m guessing yes but that should be the same on the 240i right? It’s crazy how much more horsepower these cars make than they say in paper.

[@bananahammock3664]

My M140i with remap and downpipes made 457bhp. Only 344bhp I think when stock. It was ridiculous how quick it was once rolling.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Mine was only 336bhp stock, but as anybody who knows cars & tuning will tell you, bhp = bullshit horseshit power, it's not an accurate measurement. Many dyno's are calibrated to read higher, so that when a car is remapped, the figures look amazing, and it gets them more business. After a map mine made 411bhp, and 576nm torque. And that was on a very accurate dyno.

[@LooK253]

M2, afaik never had B58 engine ;) Standard M2 has N55, and competition has S55 (twin turbo). So you could argue that M140i has a better engine, than standard M2.

LooK253 No argument. Really a no-brainer.

[@MrDarrenNice]

That was really interesting. Good video. Loved that GTI.

[@willcasey7407]

Thank you man ❤

[@TheAndy937]

The B58 engine in the M140i is not a ‘detuned’ engine out of the M2. The M2 runs a N55 engine which is a completely different engine platform (although still 3.0L and single turbo). The B58 in the M140 is completely different in nearly every single way.

[@willcasey7407]

Yeah I often get this wrong, it's the 135i that runs the N55 so you're right!

[@sheilamorrison1954]

M2 runs N55, M2 Comp Runs S55.

[@TheAndy937]

Sheila Morrison Correct. The S55 is an BMW M evolution of the N55 for the M3/M4 and later the M2 Comp. Both still completely different engines to the B58.

[@EditCrazeEdit]

[@xCobi]

My BMW Diesel makes between 315hp and 330hp depends on Dyno and temperature

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@xCobi Exactly, bhp = bullshit horseshit power. You can run the same car 5 times on the same day, and same dyno, it will give 5 different readings. The person calibrating the dyno, and adjusting/calculating the corrected power, can basically make it read what he want to. Higher (exaggerated) figures sell tuning maps, so it's best to take your car to a dyno company who do a lot of motorsport tuning, as they are more likely to give you an accurate reading.

[@steveknight1776]

The comment about both M140s being different is no surprise, even 2 of your own dyno runs varied (not inc the 275 one). Its the way engines are, no 2 are identical in any car due to tolerances and each pull will make the engine perform differently - go look at a non smoothed torque output of a hub or engine dyno 😉 Dynos are not inherently accurate due to this and therefore anything within around 5bhp is just natural variance.

So this exhaust you have put on how does that work with the new E U laws on emissions etc as every time I say am going to get one told will fail mot but do not see company's putting something on that will fail your car

Problem is You could put the same car on 10 different dyno’s the same day and not get a single reading the same as any reading can be affected by multiple things Which is why a 1/4 mile or 0-60 time is a far better representation of actual output, which is at the wheels and being driven People get obsessed chasing Dino figures, mainly just so they can quote them in a car park of vlog Translate that to a track or fast road when it also comes down to the skill of the driver regardless of power

Typical bmw, underrating the power to overdeliver and make the customers happy ;) Btw not fan of dyno's that show crank horse power just to show higher number, the crank horse power is calculated and is not always accurate. It can only be measured with the engine out of the car in the factory where bmw makes them. Wheel horse power is way more accurate and honest way of measuring the power, as every dyno has different multiplier for the losses on the auto/manual box. Some people say 18%, some 15% so you can't calculate correctly the losses to calculate the engine power.

Absolutely pointless figure. The only figures that matter, are real world driving times. 100-200 for example. Dyno's vary figures too much. My car ran 336 bhp on a MAHA dyno, same dyno's used by BMW. Its only useful to calculate a percentage increase after a remap.
