It's there for me. This thread should really be locked as the title is totally misleading.

My X3 was built in March according to the car sticker. I wonder if they started putting the 'revised' 360bhp ECU's in earlier than now ... I hope so - not that 5bhp will make any difference in the grand scheme of things but it's the principle !

I will have to get it rolling roaded once it has some miles on it to see that it hopefully is a lot over 355bhp anyway.

360ps (as used by the Germans) is 355 imperial horsepower. I don't think there have ever been two different power outputs it just depends which HP was being quoted and where.

So looks like no change then? X4 still not showing M40i on configurator.

Yes in ps. I have a March 18 car with no GPF/OPF and its 265kw or 360ps in german/European or 355BHP in imperial (UK) hp.

Its a myth that they dropped 5bhp people just got confused then others started quoting them.

EDIT: My theory is actually wrong the 2018 cars did drop down to 260KW which was 354PS/Hp and 349 (UK)BHP.

Thought so. We just managed to miss the PPF on the wife's JCW that was built in Mar 18, and purchased in May 18.

Yep they should !
The m performance range is very important to bmw
There's no chance they would get rid of this sector
The price Gap between Msport to M would be huge

agree, and they (BMW) will MOST DEFINITELY take a lot of Business from current Audi "S" owners given the blanket shift to diesel (in Europe Only!) for S4-S7 models.
