2010 M3 Dyno Test 358 whp STOCK

besiktas · 11-10-2012, 06:15 PM

I just had a dyno test on my car today. Turns out I have the OEM 240E software. I dont know when the dealer updated it, now i have 358 whp!!!

roastbeef · 11-10-2012, 06:40 PM

there has been discussion that the '11's have slightly more pep. do you think that the 240e software is responsible? whats a stock dyno?

besiktas · 11-10-2012, 07:00 PM

i have a 2010 and my friend Sanju (Checkmate screenname) has 2011. he had the old software and i had the new.
His max was 335whp and mine is 358whp. Both cars have no mods at all so we assume the software has at least about a 15whp impact.

Were the 2 cars dyno'd back-to-back on the same dyno under the same atmospheric conditions?

If not these comparison's are worthless.

A good question is why is the passenger restraint malfunction light on?

Yes, there was about 5 mins difference between the runs. same location, same dyno

I dont know, that is a good question. Can it be due to ABS de-activation?

Lots of lights appear while dynoing (result of front whel being stationary while drive wheels are moving). these typically they disappear after about ~50ft of driving after your dyno session.

If not, have your codes cleared and see if they reappear.

highest stock M3 dyno Ive seen was 365 whp

Great numbers.

Looks good.

I had recently an update to 233 E from my BMW dealer here in Belgium.
And i feel that the car pulls better,and the second gear lag is gone !( DCT shifts also faster)
So.... is the 233 E knowing in America ???
This is maybe a good question for Mike.......Mike-Benvo ???

For information.....thanks.... already in advance !

I had lights on the dash like a Christmas tree after pulling off from a dyno. All disappeared after 1 min of driving.

Why do DCT dyno in 3rd gear. I dynoed in 4th (6MT) and put down 339whp. I would assume that there would be a difference between 3rd and 4th gear (regardless of transmission) in terms of whp.

mikeredm3 · 11-13-2012, 02:41 PM

Nice

Car54 · 11-13-2012, 02:47 PM

I currently have Dinan software and wish I could get a definitive ruling if going to 240E software would add any power/drive-ability.

DCT dyno is done on 4th gear as well

I concur with Isak/Besiktas here. My car is a 2011 E90 M3 bone stock. I only pulled a best of 335.8hp whereas his 2010 E92 with the 240E software pulled 358hp. Both of us have MDCT and run on stock 19 wheels.

The 15-20hp increase due to the software update is warranted and legitimate.

JuRuKi · 11-13-2012, 03:49 PM

can we go to the dealer to ask for the software update? i have a 2011 E90 m3

You sure can. Be prepared to spend $300 at least and they will tell you that they won't warranty anything since the update is not mandatory.

I understand if your car locks and unlocks while you wash it while the keys are in your pocket...that the software update fixes this. I tried the cold start/stutter method while under factory warranty...with no luck.

I was wonder if I could do something about that when I wash the car. I'll have the ask the next time I have the car in for service...
