I don´t know were this time come from ... but AMS is the (normal street car) sister magazine of SPORTAUTO - the reference magazine for NOS times.
And the drivers and authors of this AMS article (Jens Dralle->MotoGP-M4/Christian Gebhardt->M3) are also main testers of SPORTAUTO together with the wellknown Supertest driver and author HvS.

Yes, at the Portugal event they said 15s quicker on the Nürburgring. This has also been mentioned in several other posts after that event.

I think that @swamp2 also expected a similar improvement, based on his simulations, some time ago? (sometime after the launch where they said more than 10s)
