less powerful???? don't think so!

the article quotes

That's not bad for a smaller, less-powerful engine, at least from a pure horsepower perspective. BMW's new turbo 2.0 puts out 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

but the fact is, the inline 6 puts out 230 hp and 200 ft/lbs

here are the figures from bmwusa.com

Engine
Liter/type 3.0/inline 6
Nominal output hp 230 @ 6500
Max. torque 200 ft/lbs @ 2750

In my book the new 4 cylinder engine is more powerful from any angle you look at it.

this is a very big oversight, if you want any credibility at least get the facts straight. this is very embarrassing.
