theres no way on earth that a car showing 226bhp at the wheels is only giving 240 at the flywheel, thats a loss of just 6%.
15% is more likely, and with the wheesl figure at 226bhp it wud give roughly 265bhp at the fly. still not as good as it shud be, but not bad considering the age and mileage of most M635's

Don't worry too much about the statistics. When you've been on here long enough, you will notice that there are times when "Sohlman's" enthusiasm gets the better of him...!

*sigh*... Do you write your own material?
It's Latin, dear. "Pro bono" effectively means "for free"

Got my copy of the club magazine yesterday and read the above mentioned article.
If I had been in the position of splashing out 60K on an M6 then discovered that it only had 240bhp I think I would have been a little bit anoyed. At least it wasn't too much trouble to put right, although if it was me I would have been taking it back to BMW an getting them to sort it
By the way...How many emoticons!!!

One 635CSi does not a fleet make (that's Howard's territory)...
...also you don't exactly earn megabucks if most of your work is legally-aided (it often feels like you're doing it pro bono)
...and I don't own a ranch - let's not be so American, now, shall we?

fyi; -my nerdy book of facts says Euro '84 M635 286bhp,3325lbs,10.5:1 compression. '87 US M6, 256bhp,3570lbs, 9.8:1 compression.
Only 500-odd RHD M635s were ever built, apparently in batches, the last being about 50off in 1989.
Presumably with the imminent arrival of unleaded fuel everywhere, '87-on standard 635s run 9.2:1 compression, c.f. 10:1 for earlier versions of the 3430cc engine.
I wonder if they sneakily altered the M635CSi for similar reasons?
hmmm.....
