Performance class
K= Lowest
U= Lower
M=Medium
O=Upper(standard)
T=Top
S= Super
- The base G87 for EU and US markets has a confirmed power output of 338kW / 453hp. This makes sense since it's getting a detuned S58 which produces 20hp less than its big brothers, but it doesn't explain the 'T' engine designation.
- The base G80/2 get the S58O engine which outputs 338kW /473hp. The G80/2 Competition models get the S58T engine which outputs 375kW / 503hp.
System error or sign of things to come?

It's not a system error whatsoever, it's got the S58B30T0 in it.
Just not sure what the fuss is about as the X3/X4 M LCI and X3/X4 M Competition LCI use the same engine.
It's only the M3/4 6MT that are powered by the S58B30O0.
