So 415hp for the new m3 is likely more like 450. 300 pounds lighter is another 35 equivelent hp to the current e9x m3. So you are looking at a big performance jump of about 70 hp which is essentially the same jump as e4 to e9

+1
And keep in mind that with the turbo engine, a tune alone can add another 30-40 HP and similar torque. Add an exhaust and you can pretty easily get to ~500 HP. Try doing that with the V8..
I think the next M will be a game changer.
