Not sure what you're referring to as I can't get the link to work. By the way, the M Sport models are now live on the UK configurator site

Looks like someone at BMW UK has got their BHP and their PS mixed up. It does happen rather a lot.

1 PS = 0.98632 BHP. If you do the sums, you will see that 245 (PS) x 0.98632 = 241 (BHP)
