This is interesting.
It is well documented that BMW/MINI cars often produce more power than advertised when measured on a rolling road. I had a 2007 MCS, which should have produced 192 lb Ft of torque but when tested produced 211 lb Ft.
I also think that the 192 hp figure is without overboost and that if the car overboosted above 4,500rpm then more than 192 hp would be produced.
Therefore it is not inconceivable that somewhere a very healthy F56 MCS in the right circumstances could produce significantly more than 192 hp.
However I also think that the app is not measuring actual hp, rather it is calculating what it thinks the car is producing. I don't know whether this is just based on rpm, or whether it uses a more comprehensive set of live measures.
As I said at the beginning, interesting. I'm going to connect mine now to see what happens!
