My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
Did get the local BMW Club Finland Magazine today. It's called the Bemaristi .
They did dyno some 15 BMW's.
Most interesting was the dyno of a E60 535dA: 294 hp and 587 Nm!
They also tryed to dyno a M5 but it didn't work, the rear wheel traction was too much for the dyno!
For those who love old V12's, the measure for a M70B50 was 304 hp and 457 Nm.
Alpina B10 (E34) did get 367 hp and 529 Nm.

Did they dyno 530i??
But contact your local BMW Club Sweden, it has much more interesting BMW's!
Lots of M1's and other fine BMW's...
The taxation in Finland makes us "Traditional BMW".
Intresting was also that the old M50B25 (E39, 523i) did give 195 hp and 282 Nm
and the E46 M3 (S54B32) 340 hp and 363 Nm!

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
I'll do a dyno once i remap mine and see what's what.
The 535d can get hot rather quickly on a dyno and the BMW automatic torque converter doesn't really like dyno runs either.

Have to get that magazine! 
Mine was 245 when dynoed as stock! So BMW has more power than promised. Dyno guy said that normal reading for 530d is aout 225 to 235 hp as stock.
