I came across this situation with the X7 LCI. I ordered the LCI which bmw advertises with 375hp compared to the pre-LCI which had 335hp. But there's no noticeable difference in performance which leads me to believe they're simply updating HP figures on paper... probably for marketing and getting them more in line with actual output.
