Some German magazines are still writing 450PS...

Anyway, the power to weight ratio would be far better than the E9x M3. The M3/M4 is more of a canyon carver than autobahn cruiser (M5). So they are probably more concerned about agility than outright top end speed. That is also reflected in the 250/280km/h speed limits (if correct). The M5 has a optional speed limit above 300km/h.
