Manuals have less drivetrain loss.
These numbers are a reference that I would not take seriously. Go look at a car with a th400 swap... the drivetrain absorbs a ton of power but it performs fantastic.
Also, stock numbers are boring. These cars are meant to be toyed with. I couldn't imagine waking up in the morning and thinking "time to go drive my stock car"  |
You're probably on to something ...I'm sure bmw does want you to toy with the engine so you can void the warranty and when it breaks buy/ lease a new one.
