    Is the GCC E92 M3 2011 414 or 420 BHP?

    So I am buying a GCC BMW M3 E92 2011 next month hopefully.

    When checking the VIN on bimmer.work : VIN Decoder for BMW , it shows the power as 309 kW which equates to 414 BHP.

    I thought that the Gulf / UK versions of this car are actually 420 BHP stock?

    Or does that site just show the base BHP and then the GCC/UK versions get some sort of different ECU tuning that makes them have a bit higher BHP?

    BHP numbers will vary with car...the best way to know the output is to Dyno it. Dont go strictly by what the catalogs states :)

      US Spec E9x M3 comes with extra two 100 cell cats at the headers, decreasing the power to 414 bhp.

          Yeah, rarely you find this answer on the forums.

          These cats are there to prevent extra emissions. They are following the State of California Emissions Law.
