Yes. US cars have 30% less power. 545 is only rated at 233 hp in US. 35 hp less than Toyota Camry. Good thing BMWs are also 30% cheaper in US.

BMW 545 European version has power 333PS. does American version have the same power ?
I heard that American version had smaller power about 20 - 30 %
is this truth ?

I had a VW Scriocco ('83 or '84) many years ago and can remember reading how the euro version had about 15-20 horses than the U.S. version due to a different throttle body, headers, and exhaust.
