Went on bmwvin and !!!!
I was just on bmw vin and im a little confused about what it says. It says my m is an 06-02-2008 production with the s65 displacement 4.00, and then heres the tricky part, power 309?!?!? Why does it say that? Theres no way that can be correct i mean the e46 had more crank hp than that, and theres no way a website can tell you wheel hp. Can somebody plz chime in and help me relax.

you better check under the hood, you either don't have a M3 stamp logo or you got a N55 instead.
Additionally, you may also have to considered the non-ZCP "Civic" dial-back in HP. At times the moon on your roof also weighs in heavily on the HP figures. In any rate, good luck and god bless on this journey you are about to embark on to getting this one fixed. IBTL |

I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with the metric system...
You drive a car made in Germany |

They had a recall for cars made on 06-02-2008. Call your dealer ASAP.

Here's a helpful link for you OP:
http://americanmachinist.com/horsepo...ons-calculator Enter 309 in the Kilowatts field under the "Kilowatts to Horsepower". Hope that answers your question! |

Don't confuse KW with HP ...
BTW in Germany the boys call it 420 PS (stands for HP - translation in German is Pferdestärke true translation Horse Strength).
