This video of Evolve’s BMW F87 M2 Competition on the dyno demonstartes that the BMW M2 can easily be faster than the stock BMW M3. With that much power and torque, if BMW were to just offer a lighter version, it would beat the M3. Check out the dyno map showing that BMW changed the characteristics of the S55’s powerband for M2-duty, as it comes in far more gradually. This is to aid with the traction issues that have always plagued the stock M3. It also feels less spiky and scary on corner exit than a standard M3. So not only does the BMW M2 Competition make a ton of power, it does so more smoothly, allowing the it to be even faster.
