If the DCT is comparable to an auto, it'll be near 15% loss vs 12.8% for 6MT.
Still don't see the words "10HP".

It does not say 10 HP exactly. The replies later point to 390 HP for the Manual as opposed to 400 HP for the auto.

Where did you read this? Same instagram post? I don't see this anywhere unless it was deleted?

BHP is going to be exactly the same of course!

Right there.

That's 390hp output from the engine, which is what you may compare to BMW's advertised numbers. That was derived by simply multiplying whp by 1.128. A while back a BMW engineer provided the 12.8% figure for 6MT drivetrain loss. There is probably a car-to-car variance that exceeds 10HP regardless.

35% of the forum: Wow, that is great. Exactly what I expected. When you apply some algorithm, it is obvious that BMW underreported their HP. Silly BMW.

35% of the forum: Wow, that is awful. No way you get more than 0.1% loss with this drivetrain. BMW frickin lying. It's cause its an N55. Shoulda put an S in there. Stupid BMW. Need a bespoke S engine and a NA V8. Lame.

15% of forum: Can you please get me details of every other car that dyno has ever measured and report all environmental variables - temp/humidity/smog levels/pollen counts. Also, all vehicle stats - laden or unladen/was it broken in/was someone in it

10% of the forum: That dyno is notorious for giving bad results. Stupid dyno. Put it on a {insert fanboi dyno of choice}. Besides, one reading is meaningless

5% of forum: Dino? what is that?

You may now close the thread and save yourself a LOT of time. You are welcome.

Well put. The crap we have to deal with about dynos. I will save this for later
