Seems the new M engines are tuned more towards midrange power. While fun on the street when driving 6/10ths and you dont want to stretch out each gear, at the track where you are flat out all the time, I would prefer a powerband shifted more towards the right.
7500-7700rpm is spot on with the predictions. But lets see, on most cars aftermarket software will increase the rev limiter, so hopefully we could se close to 8k rpm with an aftermarket tune?
Maybe not worth it for stock turbos since the powerband seems to be very strong in the midrange and drops at high rpms, but I imagine with a nice aftermarket turbo kit which develops power all the way up to redline. 8k would be great.
