GLWS! Looks like it's been well maintained.

BTW, did you do any sort of performance enhancements? If not, I believe the ZHP camshafts only yielded an additional 10 hp over the non-ZHP 330i/Ci, for a total of 235 hp.

Perfectly stated.

Sent from my S8+

Source? I've seen numbers ranging from 235 to 255, never with any documentation. Just broscience and hearsay.

Looks great! Underpriced in my book.

As in, primary source. A news article or report isn't a source, Car & Driver didn't dyno test the engine or the vehicle to my knowledge.

The 235 hp / 222 ft-lbs ratings are the official BMW released numbers. Car and driver doesn't typically dyno cars for road tests. They go off the manufacturer figures.

I doubt BMW ever released their dyno charts, and a quick Google doesn't return anything official. Car magazines rarely dyno cars themselves, as you say, and publish what the manufacturer tells them are the official output figures. Some people have dyno'd their ZHPs, but that is variable given what dyno was used, what the drivetrain loss is, and other elements. I doubt there is much official info beyond that.

There's an official BMW press guide on the zhp. It's on this site somewhere. It mentions the hp and torque numbers.

BTW GLWS!
