The weights i used were the "test weights" quoted by road and track. I think it means the car + the driver. And I used their quarter mile numbers. So for the purpose of estimating hp from those numbers, it doesn't matter what BMW specs.
you may have a point with the Cd (Cd is not the amount of drag btw, its just the drag coefficient, there's a thread on this around here), but I'd still like to see a real dynojet dyno.
