SAY IT AINT SO...2007 E63 DYNO's a 424 HP?!!!
I was at Powertrain Dynamics in Huntington Beach, the other week having a friend Dyno a '69 GTO. On the rack we see an E63!!!, So I'm gawking, ooh, ahh... my buddy is an M5 fan, BMW all the way, although his daily driver is a R500. So he's talking smack, that's a piece of ****, the E63 is garbage, my M5 will smoke that...yada, yada, yada...
With just a little aftermarket bolt-on mods... the E63 Dyno's 424 RWHP...
WTF?!!! Somebody please tell me that car was not what it was and that some monkey re-badged it!!!

I doubt his M5 dynos any higher...plus, what kind of E class other than a 63 or 55 could be anywhere near 424rwhp? That's a lot of power. Maybe you and your buddy don't understand that dynos read horsepower at the wheels? Otherwise, thats a pretty damn good number for a 63.

Why the complaint about 424 hp at the wheels?
Excellent number as far as I'm concerned,translating to a nice margin over 500 at the crank.
My old E55 ('03) had only 398hp at the wheels.
Is someone here confused and does not know the difference between wheel and crank horspower?

424 sounds pretty accurate to me.....It is slightly low as i get 500 crank HP using an 18% drivetrain loss...However that can be attributed to many things....i.e. car needs to break in, temp was warm....dyno reads slightly low....
If it bothers the owner that much I will gladly trade you for my 55 :-)

.18*507=91.26
424+91.26=515.26
