Everyone says BMW underrates HP, but look here... http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1334063 ... this European dyno basically says the factory number is right on spot.. 240hp and a corrected hp (how ever they calculated it) 244hp.
If you have enough $$$, sure you can do it. But do you really want to spend the coin to get there?

If the stock base HP rating is actually accurate then the 240hp rating and the 228-230hp my car achieved equates to a parasitic driveline loss of just about 9.5%. I don't think, as good as the ZFs are, they are THAT efficient...which is why we all say the 240hp is underrated........
