they (all) rated hp at the crank. Dyno is at the wheels. usually around 10-15% less. this is normal for ALL brands.

on the 335i, BMW cheated on this one(to help the M3 sales). they almost get the full 300hp on dyno

Yeah, you have to factor in the drivetrain loss of ~15% when you are looking at whp. The factory rates hp at the crank.
