Our charts are shown the way they are just so its clear that we are not taking credit for power we do not make. As to the reason why they are being underrated... your guess is as good as ours.
Can you confirm if this is true for X1 as well? Coz I test drove sdrive 18d xline and now I own sdrive 18d m sport and I felt difference on how they delivered power.
