thanks Lomag.

thats very interesting. Kempower sent me graph of a standard 525D and that had a flast spot. Why was that? could it be that that engine only had abit of miles on it? Here is a pic of it below.

They seem to be fairly similar to me. The scales on the two graphs are a little different so they look way different in that respect. I'd imagine though that the kempower one you posted is more accurate. The ones we got come from BMW UK in an excel graph format with only a handful of datapoints while yours have probably hundreds of datapoints.

the kempower shows a small dip between 2200rpm and 2400rpm which the BMW one doesnt?

Ya .. the kempower is more accurate but I guess to BMW that is "flat enough" to let them draw a flat line on the official curves.
