Welcome back.
But 340 vs. 415 is hardly a threat, is it? The real aftermarket "threat" for the E46 and a bit for the E92 M3 is Vishnu. Have a read about the numbers folks are getting from his software in the FI forums. I also think an under rating by BMW is less likely for the E92 M3 (esp with RS4 at 420). Maybe they want to make a subtle statement that "we can still beat you with less hp". I guess I am still leaning toward my inital prediction of 433 hp actual. Don't want to commit on a stated number.
