Gears effect how much of that torque is put to the wheels but that is not something a dyno measures, no would any gearing combination effect the torque curve of an engine.
I stopped reading after that line because clearly you know about the least about cars I could imagine for being someone posting on an m3 thread.

Move on. You have no idea who I am or what I do, love someone with 13 posts calling me out. It was late in Germany and I mistyped.... What I wanted to say was that torque can be remedied with gearing. The torque curve on the S65 is good but weak on paper for values- thanks to the gearing it is much better on pavement. The engine in the CRT/GTS Z4/GT3 is the real revelation though. The S63tü on the other hand is a different situation entirely.
Having recently experienced the P65 first hand- that engine is simply a work of art but what makes it all the more effective is the X-trac.
