This has been discussed on other forums also. Taking Dinan out of the equation, I believe the German manufacturers published HP and Torque numbers are closer to @ the wheel numbers rather than the normal U.S. standard of @ the crank HP/torque.
A reason many feel the German cars are under-rated when perhaps their published numbers are the true numbers one gets @ the wheels
My Mini S is rated by BMW @189 HP. Car dyno's @ 188 @ the wheels. IMO opinion WHP should be the published HP/torque numbers rather than an inflated flywheel number.
