M3/4 vs B3

What are the numbers for the Alpina B3, just as a reference? I understand the motors are not identical, but I think we can approximate the TQ based off this model alone.

Either way: I honestly thought the HP was going to match, if not come very close to TQ numbers. This is an obvious decision made by M engineers. And as a previous poster noted It will have to do with a Higher Redline or perhaps, or in addition to, a decrease in lag (hopefully elimination)
