I'm not confused at all mate
No worries, I just know a lot of torque(at the wheels) can come in very handy and makes the experience even better than without...
Having had a E90 M3 6MT and currently my turbocharged >550Nm @ 2500rpm silly pocketrocket, I know (without scientific approaches at all) the new M3/4 with whatever twin/triturbo engine layout will be so much more powerful fun @ 'any' revs than the outgoing M3...
That's all.
I'm looking at it from a driver's point of view of a guy who isn't @ any trackday every weekend...
...well come to think of it: this weekend @ Papenburg Germany, Mercedes Benz testtrack we have a trackday again
And if you say people cannot feel 'any' torque whatsoever, I'm glad to take you for a ride in my pocketrocket, then we'll'talk again
Cheers
