Their results seemed inflated to me. Though I have nothing to indicate that EAS 'fixed' the results or that they used inaccurate testing methods, the delta between BMW's claimed 425HP at crank and EAS' 414HP at the wheel (implying some +480HP at the crank) is hard for me to accept and causes me to question the test result in general. I believe I did a fairly good job of keeping my posts civil. But if you feel that I have become overly antagonistic in my posts, I can assure you that the feeling is mutual (please refer back to your earlier posts). Quote:
And the important takeaway is not just the delta between the E9X and F8X. The Motor Trend test does show the M4 getting substantially lower HP than what EAS showed. So obviously there is more testing that needs to be done in order to reach a consensus. Quote:
If you really want to label my skepticism as trolling, fine go ahead. Though I think this "trolling" has been far more two-sided then you are willing to acknowledge. Edit: To extend some semblance of an olive branch...I don't care how much HP the M4 truly has either, and I believe like you that BMW under rated their engine (because they've been known to do that). I simply think the delta between BMW's and EAS' claims is somewhat big for the S55. I think additional dyno testing will yield an average result and give us all a much better understanding of the M4's power. But there are a whole lot of M4 fans who believe EAS' dyno results are rock solid and believe this car truly has something north of 480HP at the crank. Maybe it does. Maybe not.

This base Carrera beats the M4 around a track. Any thoughts?
