feels linear...
The dyno graph from Sport Auto is in fact much more linear than the BMW cartoonish graphs we've seen previously though. The drop off in torque at 5500rpm isn't as dramatic as in the official dyno graph from BMW for instance. So in that respect the dyno graph is a nice surprice
Also bear in mind that the Prad number at 1500rpm is extremely low (around 5hp), indicating a non full throttle scenario at 1500rpm IMO. This also creates that very steep rise from 1500rpm that you might not see in real world scenarios.
And 465hp/577Nm is also a significant higher number than the adverticed figures.
