Are you saying that the 320i ON AVERAGE will put out 30~40 HP more than the factory claim? That would basically give it the same performance as the 328i, whereas the gap is much more significant. Sorry, I think it's an interesting theory but it just doesn't make sense to me.

As I said before, the 28i regularly measures on the dyno that are much more than 245ps. For the 20i it can easily be around 200ps.
For those that are below 245ps it will be badged as 20i but it won't offer the full power cos they'll detune it to a lower level. U can tune it back up but at most it'll be near the 28i's baseline.
