My 2018 530e is currently on a Bootmod3 Stage 1 Map. I coded the extra HP values to come in on the sport display with BimmerCode, but even though those dials go to about 320HP, it's easily maxing that out.
Im estimating it's making anywhere between 330 and 350HP.
I thought that I would want to go to stage 2 quickly afterward, but honestly, the added power and especially the torque is amazing. Above 120MPH, I would want theoretically want more umph, but 1. it's kinda illegal to be doing that speed and 2. I do most of my driving in the city.
Here's a recent run I've done with my Dragy. I know it isn't fast by real performance car standards, but honestly its more than enough for me.

You're definitely not making 320-350hp mate
