Then youll say bmw did an awesome job uskng twin scroll technology.
I dont see what you didnt like about having full 300lbs of torque at 1200rpm. Its not m3 power but it just wasnt entirely an accurate statement from you.
You didnt specify anything about an n55 335 that you drove as a track car such as you use your m3.

From your discussion with m3alabama (I very largely agree with him) it appears you don't fully appreciate the M3's throttle response. n55 is certainly better than n54 and I've driven both. However, as stated prior n55 does not even compare with s65.
I also agree with m3alabama on the usefulness of lots of torque at low rpms (not much). That is good for a lazy driving style and one who does not want to shift or fully utilize a cars capabilities.
