So how bout the other question in my post? Can we increase torque to even higher peak by adjusting the bore dimensions?

By the way, I think the point about looking at the entire torque curve vs. just the peak value is a very good one.

Regarding more torque, the important thing to me, it is becoming clear that BMW didn't go the easy option of 'fettling' an N55 which is what so many people were against.
Agree, and I would say that this holds true even if they had used (or did use) the same bore and stroke of the N55 with the same sized block. Clearly every part if the engine has been improved, just as we have seen with their past efforts.
