They are known for underestimating the power a bit but bmw or any company would not underestimate hp by 50 plus hp.
Read the reviews as well. This engine felt about the same as the 255hp I6 its replacing and that had 200 whp. If this thing truly had 240 whp it would obliterate the old I6 in those tests.
Everything points to crank hp here guys

IT IS WHP! Insideline tests cars, including the 1M, on the dyno quite frequently. They post dyno vids quite frequently and they are always the WHP numbers, not BHP. These numbers are on MD Automotive's DynoJet. DynoJets are known for being some of the highest reading dyno's out there. Remember, Dynos are tuning tools, not reality tools. However, the power of the car is probably somewhat underrated as per usual at BMW.
