You misunderstand. Your graphs seem to show 7000 RPM in 6th as 215. The correct number is about 199, meaning something in your setup is ~8% off. Every gear looks off. Tire diameter, redline?

The issue I'm having beyond the speed in gears is that your "force at wheels" graphs show the 1M making 3500 lbs of force in 1st, while the M3 is 3800. From this and speed you can back out relative torque assuming similar losses- if the M3 is putting out the published 295 at the crank the 1M is putting out ~330. Meanwhile the 1M is rated at 370, and is dynos show that as quite under-rated.

Yes, I think posting the numbers you're using would be a good idea to clear up the confusion.
