Is the F10 engine underrated?

Just was informed by a good friend he took delivery of a new M6 (vert). This guy babies nothing. The M6 with only 40 miles was put on the Dyno Jet.
The car put down 530.9 rwhp and 501 rwtq. He plans a tune and possibly another 100 rwhp.
All I can say is ... WOW

Most people think that it was underrated by traditional dyno standards. Your friend's dyno seems to support that theory.
