Do these number sound about right for a stock E 46 M3?

271.6 WHP
237.1 Ft/Lbs

not sure about the torque, but from what I have read, most people have been about getting that for the HP.

That comes out to roughly 320 FWHP - a tad short of the advertised 333. Depending on weather conditions and how broken in the motor is, that number can go up or down.

I thought it's darn near impossible to dyno an E46 M3...When it senses that the front wheels are not turning at the same rate as the rear wheels, it'll cut off the RPM at 5,000.

I was under this impression too.

There was an article in one of the car mags...Car And Driver I believe, that stated you can't dyno an M3.

Hmm, maybe that's where I saw it. It was quite a while ago, that I saw it.
