I remember a while back someone told me BMW’s published hp and torque figures are the absolute lowest produced figures on the worst days/conditions. It’s in their best interest to provide figures that can and always be attained. I guess to cover their ass from lawsuits from customers who complain their car isn’t putting out what was advertised. I’m sure there have been instances where a customer had sued due to this. I doubt there’s anyone who sued because their car was was “overpowered” 😁
