3.0l S50 was supposed to be 286bhp and the 3.2l was supposed to be 321bhp from the factory.

Stock torque is supposed to be 235lbs but that converts to about 320NM which is more nearer what is quoted above and would make more sense.

HTH :cool:

Yup that was my mistake its in NM

Sorry bout that :o:

The sheet said 340nm its 10bhp down on standard possibly due to lack of back pressure in the exhaust system and the manifold was modified to fit around a z3 steering rack, so ive lost a few ponys there!!
