That's a 40x improvement, yes 4000% better hp/$ ratio...
Despite this they'll almost for sure offer this (they have hinted at different models, more performance levels, etc in the past for all new M cars) and they'll be a decent take rate. Obviously they'll also enjoy near infinite profit margins (except for the fact that this tune will likely come with some actual physical parts, lowering their margin from infinite to absurd)

IIRC, you also get an Akra exhaust for that $7300. Plus new wheels, revised suspension and steering. As you said still ridiculous money, but it is more than just a 15hp power pack for $7300.
