Looking at every 100% stock E9X M3 on the forums, they can vary as wide as 40+whp. I doubt BMW is that inconsistent  |
M3 uses the MSS60 DME, M5 is equipped with MSS65.
Final numbers can be attributed to a number of variables, including conditions, fuel, maintenance, etc. We've seen some stock M3s dyno as low in the low 300s, and some as high as 365whp.
