Has anyone confirmed that the M-performance 235 LSD will not work on the 228?
My biggest issue with the 235 is the upcoming M2. Also for me personally the M3 conflicts with it. 228 priced out the way I like it at $38k MSRP so less if negoiated or euro delivered does not have much competition at that price. 235 is a great car and for me the smoothness of the I6 make it very tempting. |

I realize this thread is getting pretty off-topic to answer OP's question....:
http://www.bimmerfest.com/news/76530...-dyno-numbers/ These guys dyno'd 233HP to the wheel. BMW advertises 240HP for a 228i; Advertised HP ratings are usually crank I believe. 15%-20% loss from crank to wheel HP conversion is pretty standard, so "guesstimated" crank HP is around 275HP - 290HP So yes, BMW did underrate their advertised HP by about 35HP - 50HP EDIT: Just as a reference, EAS dyno'd a M235i at 307WHP, so crank HP rating is about 360HP - 385HP Last edited by henryyxyu; 06-13-2014 at 08:37 PM.. |

"Did you know BMW underrates their horsepower ratings?" "Everybody knows that." "Well, did you know that owls really aren't that wise?" ... Maybe the real question should be: does BMW understate their HP numbers more than other manufacturers?

How do you like the 2 series against your M3? I am cross-shopping between a used 2008/2009 M3 and a 2015 2 Series (only 220i available back in Mexico.. I will come back soon). Thanks! |
