What always confuses me is WHP vs HP and why we don't just use one way to measure TRUE power. Does it simply come down to marketing?

I'm assuming that when BMW claims the car is 300HP "stock", obviously that's not WHP. What is the stock WHP on a 335xi? 240?

If Stage 1+ aggressive w/FMIC is roughly 350WHP, what WHP am I currently at with Stage 1 aggressive?

Last stupid question. does HP typically equate to a specific WHP in terms of #'s? For example. 100hp =?WHP?


Appreciate all the responses.
What @135pats said. Also it is my understanding that RWD cars suffer from less drivetrain loss than our AWD brethren...so an xi car will probably put down less overall whp. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong here.
