STI: The latest US model of the STI has 305 bhp and 290 ft·lbf of torque (Horizontally Opposed 4-cylinder Single turbocharger, DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder.)
Somewhat different engines, BMW's engine will feature direct injection to focus on fuel economy where both of the above suck in that case. Performance wise, I think it's safe to say, BMW went with a conservative tune once again as in the N54/N55, wait till a tune hits the streets for these engines.
