Are we sure that F8X has 430bhp and not ps? Maybe I missed that, so if 430 is ps then the difference is roughly 26%. If that is bhp then difference is as you said, higher at 28%; but I believe it is closer to 20% or 25% max, and once someone will put them on back to back dynos we will be able to confirm that. For a variety of reasons (mostly political/marketing concerns) 1M was clearly underrated while I don't see how a 18.9 psi (essentially) same displacement M4 will be underrated THAT much. Anyway, it was not my main point and I have no problems at all accepting that indeed it has 28.5% or else, more power
