Dyno question:
for those of you whom had your M2 on the dyno, which geardid you use? We had mine on the rollers today and the gentleman used 4th gear. I heard someone mention using 5th so it made me wonder what would be the right way for this car.

5th for the DCT. You'll get lower numbers in the other gears
I had two pulls in 5th and one in 4th. The 4th gear pull was ~15 hp and 50 lb/ft lower than the 5th gear pulls. |

100% sure dyno must be done in 5th gear for M2 in both manual or automatic
All dyno stands require measure to be done in the closest to 1.00 gear. In some cars can be 4th or 6th but more than 50% is 5th See jpg atached. Is extracted from PDF attached |
