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.

None ... also
swamp2 not ... says that the N54/N55 isnīt an real good car ... but its an sporty sedan/coupe where the M3 is an real sportscar in sedan/coupe-outfit.
An with your statement about 300lbs of torque ar 1200 rpm you shows that you donīt understand the HDZ (Hochdrehzahl) principle ... where the engine revs so fast that it doesnīt need so much torque on low rpm like an standard engine like the N54/55 ... lock at the Formular 1 and how this engines work. you have driven the M3 as manual, but as
swamp2 says the full advantage of HDZ you get only with an M-DCT car ... put the car in D5 (to avoid driver influence!) mode and press the "pedal to the metal" and you would see what M3-Drivers mean when they talk about trottle responce!
Hope you understand now why the M3-Fans and-Drivers are affraid of an M engine with the trottle resonce of an 335i.
