Mini doesn't need a lots of power to accelerate quickly due to it's weight.
But the tiny wheel size limited it's top speed despite being perfect for acceleration.
M3 is big, heavy and the big wheel size doesn't help it's acceleration, thus need a lots of power, but it's top end speed is much higher due to it's power, aerodynamic, wheel size etc.
different kettle of fish.
