I am one my car is a 2009 model. I got 391 whp. I was expecting to break the 400 whp mark. After reading through this forum and how the oem software update are improving whp numbers, I performed a full software upgrade a month ago and did a tune again. I have yet to dyno another time. I am using 95 octane. Though many say it is more like 91. But that is the best we got here.

I would have posted the dyno video and graph, but stupid iPhone showed an update to ios6 without giving me heads up that I needed to back up my phone 1st. So i lost everything including my entire summer memories!

Have not gone to the dyno yet, but will do soon. Hoping for 380-390whp. Mods in the signature.

Catless xpipe, tune, pulley, ms intake kit, maybe some scoops and you'll easily hit 400whp and that's with 91 octane

My old 2008 E92 M3 had a tad over 400whp using pencil geeks gear and ratio on a wheel hub dyno.

The mods were :
-full AA catless X-pipe and muffler
-AA filter
-AA Pulley
-AA Ecu tune

There are some dynos of cars with just bolt on mods making 390+ rwhp SAE on a Dynojet. I have seen only one dyno of a car with just bolt on mods making 400+ rwhp SAE on a Dynojet, and it is not in the dyno database.

I would like to see more, but I think it requires higher octane so the ignition timing can be sufficiently increased. The only way to get that is with race gas or meth injection. That is why I bought a meth injection tune. I have not gone to the dyno yet, but have the usual bolt on mods like catless x-pipe, high flow filter, and underdrive pulley. The rear exhaust and fancy intake seem to be of questionable benefit so I do not have those.

Many people have reported smoother and more consistent power, and possibly a little more power, with a software update to the latest BMW software. Others have noticed better driveability from fresh spark plugs and a fresh air filter (BMW's maintenance intervals are questionable in the opinion of many of us).

400WHP is nice with some simple bolt ons and a tune very impressed that the M can get to that ... My z06 was almost 5 to the wheels and it had exhaust, intake, thermo, and a tune. ran 11.3s in 90-100 degree weather and humidity of august in NJ
