we gain 68 hp but acceleration same. power comes after 80 to 180
I am not Schnitzer, but my guess is that:

1. The gearing in the 116i is different than the 118i, so maybe one more gear change is needed.

2. The BMW figures are a bit on the optimistic side, whereas the ACS ones are more realistic.

3. More power mean more wheel spin, so it is difficult to launch from 0 km/h.
