From the dynos I've seen, it looks like roughly 360hp/380tq at the crank. In the past I've driven an Audi S5 and Hyundai Genesis Coupe with somewhat similar numbers to what BMW claims. The Audi had 354hp/325tq and weighed 3800lbs. The Hyundai was 348/295 but weighed 3400lbs. My butt dyno says the M235i smokes both of them in terms of speed. The test numbers seem to support that conclusion as well. The thing's definitely making more than BMW claims.
