Look at the M3 history.
E30M3:190-230hp
E36M3: 286-321hp
E46M3: 343hp
E92M3: 420hp

The E36 and E46 had about the same hp, but the latter was faster and better.
My guess is that the power will be pretty much like what we saw in E92M3, about 420-430, official that is.
We all know BMW are pretty modest, so 450 is likely in the ballpark.
But then again, we will see a significant bump in torch, so it will be easier and more of a daily driver with the low end torch, and faster than the excisting M3.
