There is ample evidence from both rri.se, literature about losses as well as my CarTest performance simulation to support more like a 12% loss in the E9X M3, thus this is much closer to 680 crank hp. Then again who is counting 25 hp at this level... I do realize that 15% is more of an "industry standard" type of figure, but for a modern BMW (or otherwise) I think it is too large.
