Looking at the S55 power graphs, there is plenty of room to turn boost down in the lower regions of the range and stil make more power than the S65.

This is a totally useless graph because it does not factor gearing. What is important is power vs road speed.
I guess they could have reduced the torque of the S55 below 5500rpm without negatively affecting maximum acceleration. But I am very glad BMW did not limit torque in different gears as Ferrari did. At least this way we are getting the full benefit of the S55.
