...about 510-515 BHP tweaked out.

The engine/intake/exhaust/tuning on this car are a little more 'optimized' (in stock form) than the standard 4.0-liter M3.

BTW: You can't extract 500 crank hp from the current 4.0 liter powerplant without nitrous.

With every possible bolt-on and a custom tune...you'll end up in the 475-480 crank hp range MAX.
