Unless you do a lot of weight reduction they will get eaten alive on a road courses much like an S5. They're touring cars. They're meant for cruising comfortably at high speeds and have the convenience of trunks, plush leather, and all the luxury amenities while still handling well and being "fast".
And why bore out the motor and keep stock turbo's? That may be cheaper but it's much more of a production than a turbo swap

My 135i is making 340-350 whp on 13 psi, but you're comparing a motor built for NA to one made for boost. A Z06 makes probably 620 whp on a few psi too...but does that make the Z look bad?
Either way, we'll see how my bimmer compares at the track to my 370z in a couple of weeks. Just from driving around on curvy roads though...I have to say that the bimmer is going to kill it. And all from a $500 tune...
