Not only comparing to its competitors, but also a regular 50i car gets almost 450 hp for the latest V8TwinTurbo engine from BMW itself. If the M3, as a true M car, can't even get to this point, I'd be a little disappointed.
I know it's not all about the HP, but I don't want to see some comment like "producing 414 hp with just a 6 cylinder engine is amazing". BMW, you have already dropped 2 cylinders, that means you have to convince us with this I6 to be much more powerful than the current V8. It doesn't means you can make excuse of not making any improvement on power. Come on! BMW.
