300bhp is a conservative, but realistic estimate of what the 335i is capable of repeatedly producing.

makes no sense for bmw to underrate their cars. but much better to underrate than to overrate.

think of it this way: the 07 g35 has a claimed 306 bhp. the 335i has a claimed 300 bhp. which car is faster? the 335i. by a significant margin. this is due to alot of factors including weight, drivetrain efficiency etc.. but by "underrating" bmw basically rubs it in to lexus/infiniti. which is cool..
