I thought the M philosophy was to have just enough torque for the weight of the car.
A good example of how too much torque hurts handling in a RWD, is the C63 AMG.

More torque doesnt lower ET,lap times etc.that's why you dont see a lot 335d in the 11's at the dragstrip.

Look at F1 cars,they have over 700hp,geared for only 250 lb-ft or so of torque.
