What we need is low end torque (peak torque start @1500 rpm) AND 8000rpm redline.
Totally disagree.

1. If it was easy it would be much more widespread.
2. Torque at the crank is meaningless, you can't feel it and it has nothing to do with performance. Torque at the wheels does matter and the current M3 has plenty of that. The only benefit of massive low rpm torque is if you have a desire to never shift (lazy driving as I call it).
