I completely disagree!!!
Dyno testing in repeatable conditions is the closest thing you'll get to real measureable results. You blowing away some loser in a MB means absolutely nothing, as street racing has so many variables involved; driver error/aggressiveness, gear selection, weight of the car/load, uphill, downhill, etc.
Your statement above is the kind of misinformed thought process that gives many BMW drivers a bad name. There are those that throw money at modifications without ever understanding what is really happening, and then there are those that actually care to learn what, and why modifications do to the car.
Not to mention gaining 67 naturally aspirated horsepower TO THE WHEELS from mods in a highly developed motor as that found in your M6 is pretty incredible, and you should be happy with the results.
