At the top of the HP and TRQ Graphs, Dinan does indeed cite BMW's "Factory Rated" numbers.

However, Dinan DOES divulge their own measured "BEFORE" HP and TRQ numbers. It's in the TABLES (found just below each Graph) where Dinan's "BEFORE" HP and TRQ values are listed.

As I stated in yesterday's post (Post No. 112) in this very thread, BMW understates/underrates the peak HP and TRQ by a factor of about 10%.
