What shouldn't remain out of consideration is the fact that the M5 engines seem to have more power than stated. So maybe the drivetrain loss isn't that amazing low, but the engine's output higher than stated. So all this predictions are only valid if the M3 engines will also have higher output. But the rototest for the M3 engine suggests it that way...
