If it's just variability, I'd be scared, because that kind of HP variability suggests imprecise engineering.

Look at the Performance list

In there you will see that the M3 E92 from 0-100mph has ranged from 9.4s to 10.6s, that's 1.2s which would imply a mighty big HP difference and as you said imprecise engineering.
If you look at one brand then you have to look closer to home as well.
