Sport plus BHP Down on standard cars?

scotgc · 08-14-2011, 06:42 AM

Has anyone noticed that the sport plus models are down on BHP compared with normal specs on the BMW website approx 4bhp? wonder what the reasons are for this? I assume that its a mistake.

Talking of using different figures, I always forget that BMW acceleration times are always quoted as 0-62 and not 0-60. Need to bear this in mind when comparing other manufacturers.

For example, was reading this earlier on the Insignia VXR it quotes the 321bhp VXR as 0-60 in 5.6 secs. Sounds respectable until you read further down the page where Opel quotes 0-62 in 6.0 secs for a mechanically identical Insignia OPC. Not so good compared to most faster BMs. A 335i would certainly pi55 all over the VXR if this is the case.
