Of course you realize that although such overboost features do not produce any additional peak hp they do provides additional power at lower rpm. It is the increase in power that matters. However, if one could choose additional torque and no addition in peak hp or an increase in peak hp which do you believe would offer more performance improvement (of course assuming each hypothetical vehicle is driven aggressively, i.e. for extracting maximum possible performance)?

Well according to BMW it's an overboost from 450 to 500Nm for the 1M for 10 seconds or so and Nm (Newtonmeter) means torque in my book
So if I say 'torque' I'm wrong because you already explained it's hp.
But that would mean BMW is advertising wrong or what?
