Well, perhaps Mustang GT350 is a bad comparison. It's only 526HP and 429lb-ft, at the crank. The BMW M numbers is closer to the wheels power nowadays, so it will be close to 700HP/700LB-FT equivalent. Example, my F85 X5M actually makes 647HP crank reported by Dinan. Brochure reads 567HP.
But wow, I can't believe the GT350 have such wide front tires. Probably to reduce understeer, but 305 front isn't ideal for highway driving.
I think 325 rear and 275 front should be good.
