when bmw claim its 199 it probably is because its the power at the crank they quote not at the wheel so if you was to add 15 to 20% more than the figure you get at the wheel ie my 174 that would make mine around the 199 bhp figure they quote.
there will always be a difference in the figures as at the crank there is less resistance where as wheel figures the power is being transferred through many components to get to the wheel
but i agree they should quote wheel figures
