Just thinking out loud, but hey you never know. The GTS had an different engine.

It's just throws me off as to why BMW would have even published that.

Yes in theory it is better balanced, but still it can become a problem. Just look at the s52 and m54 engines.

Edit: not saying it will become a problem at stock rpm limits. I'm talking more in terms of raising the redline for track engines.
