340 is enough for the 1M. If your not happy with the power output, there's always aftermarket tuners out there. Upgrade the ECU, pulleys, headers, downpipe, intake, exhaust, and tune will give you at least 370-400 whp.

Why ask for 451 hp? Just like what others have mentioned here, 451 hp is meant for the next generation m3. With the 1M having 451 hp, people will not even look at the next gen M3 any longer. BMW engineers will not jeopardize the next gen m3's sales just because of the 1M. Lemme add, if the 1M really had 451 hp, how much will the next gen M3 have?? 550+ hp? Your already touching the M5, M6 territory. This will definitely affect sales for the M5 and M6...

So what if the 1M's hp is just like the Z4 35is'?? This car is a different breed on it's own.
