Torque.

In that case, if the Dinan bumps horsepower and torque on a CAD/US 323i coupe, should it not do the same on the European 323Ti?

If the more aggressive European tune doesn't show up in the numbers, where do you see it? Or are the European output numbers just understated?

T.I.A.
Take a read from your 323ti in European and then I will compare it against the US/SPEC 323 software and I will tell you quickly what is going on
