I had my car dyno'd at a place in Tukwila, WA called Pina Motorsports. The cost was $109.00. The machine was state of the art, but if you use them you need to know more about your car with respect to DTC button in, or out; or run it in Auto mode, or M1, M2, M3, or M4... They ended up running the car with the DTC button pushed in and in M4. Hell, I didn't have a clue what the best setting was. I do know that brake was automatically applied to certain wheels when the DSC/DTC light flashes... Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. Nevertheless, attached are pictures of a 2008 535xi on the dyno, and then the best dyno run report. I was a little upset... a little lower than expected.

not bad...no stock numbers prior to exhaust install?
if not..this is a good baseline....
this is to the crank or wheel?

I could be wrong...

From what I understand, it was measured at the wheels. The car has 16K miles on it. This test is BEFORE the exhaust upgrade. I haven't done the exhaust upgrade yet.
