Yesterday the weather was nice to decided to get the BMW out of its winter rest and taxed it and took it to a rolling road in Bristol. Was really pleased with the results considering the car is over 12 years old now! It managed 311.8 BHP and i think it was 228 lb-ft. Guys printer wasnt working so dont have the sheet but he is going to email me it across.

Only lost 9.2BHP in 12 years which is good IMO. Few pics..

What gear was it run in? Judging by the speedo it must have been 5th or 6th? Decent result though

I'd say it hasn't lost any power tbh, never seen any S52 engined car make 321bhp, always under. Yours will be regarded as a healthy one
