Also keep in mind these figures are for RWD - The G80 AWD is going to much faster than that 0-60 (low 3's easily) and annihilate the M340 in the quarter mile - stock to stock.
On top of that - handling on a track will be leaps and bounds better than an M340i...

I don't think BMW is purposely being overly conservative here. It's just the limits of traction for the tires in a RWD setup. Sure the S58 makes more power but it also weighs more than an F80 by at least 300lbs. So I'm not surprised its RWD figures are on par, which is kinda sad. Had it lost 200-300lbs it would be at least 0.2-0.3 faster than the F80.
Just wait for the huge upsell with the AWD cars. They're gonna be faster for sure but it's gonna cost you some $$$
