Actually, my 335i makes about that HP with a piggyback ecu and still returns those figures. Cruising on the highway at 75 MPH I get 30 MPG. On a full tank with mixed driving I'll get 23. Romping on it in the twisties will bring it down into the teens.

Overall I'd say it gets 20% better than the M3 even with the same HP and much more torque. That is significant.
