The crank numbers for the N54 are underrated. And your statement is backwards. The difference in crank vs wheel wold show that the M3 could benefit from a lighter drive train since the loss is greater from crank to wheel. Thats assuming that the crank numbers are accurate for the N54, which I doubt they are.
