BMW USA website has it at 382 HP and 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. This press release says starting in July it will only have 374 HP and take 4.4 seconds.... am I missing something?
As mentioned by Jason near the beginning of the thread, this is a global press release. Most countries get the WLTP-compliant version of the B58B30O1 which has slightly less power because of additional emissions filters.

Also, the quoted acceleration time is 0-100kph which is 0-62mph. That typically makes a difference of 1-2 tenths of a second, so the figure makes sense.
Thank you for the explanation!
