Finding out the engine\u2019s baseline is a good place to start before implementing mods to bump the output. This BMW M3 Sedan from the E90 era is about to become a project car, but not before seeing how much power it still makes in stock form after 11 years since it left the factory.<\/p>\n<p>The owner was hoping for the dyno to show 350 horsepower at the wheels, but the best result was 340 whp. Torque peaked at 258 pound-feet (350 Newton-meters). As a refresher, BMW rated the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8 at 414 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm), but it\u2019s important to mention automakers always talk about the power available at the crank. Usually, there\u2019s a 10-15% drivetrain loss \u201crule.\u201d That being said, the German luxury marque is known to deliberately underrate its engines.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-401838\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-830x560.jpg\" alt=\"e90 bmw m3 sedan 01 830x560\" width=\"830\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-830x560.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-1518x1024.jpg 1518w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-1536x1036.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of e90 bmw m3 sedan 01 830x560\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-401838\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20560%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-830x560.jpg\" alt=\"e90 bmw m3 sedan 01 830x560\" width=\"830\" height=\"560\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-830x560.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-1518x1024.jpg 1518w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01-1536x1036.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/e90_bmw_m3_sedan_01.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of e90 bmw m3 sedan 01 830x560\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The car in question is a 2011 M3 equipped with the optional Getrag seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. It has around 80,000 miles (nearly 130,000 kilometers) on the clock and will undergo a series of changes, including an aftermarket exhaust and upgrades to the engine to extract more oomph. It already has had its suspension modified to bring the car closer to the road.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll remind you the E90 was the only series-production M3 to have a V8 engine taking into account that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/10\/28\/bmw-e46-m3-gtr-for-sale\/\">road-legal E46 GTR<\/a> was built in fewer than 10 examples. Kept a secret for many years before being unveiled a few months ago, there was also an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/06\/10\/e46-m3-csl-v8\/\">M3 CSL with a V8<\/a> that borrowed the E39 M5\u2019s S62 engine, but that was a one-off prototype.<\/p>\n<p>The most powerful M3\/M4 is days away from being unveiled, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/08\/limited-edition-bmw-3-0-csl\/\">M4 CSL-based 3.0 CSL<\/a> to break cover later this month. It\u2019s said to have an upgraded version of the S58 inline-six engine dialed to 560 hp channeled to the rear wheels exclusively through a six-speed manual gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hSACxFUNBvY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC Garage \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT For many owners of high-performance cars who are looking to modify their cars, the first order of business is to put them on a dyno.
