It would be interesting to actually see the HP/TQ curve printout, and what BMW constitutes as "full torque available."
I don't really know if I've ever seen a petrol engine with 80+% torque available for that much of the rev range. If it is, indeed, the case with the N55, that's quite an impressive accomplishment, and BMW deserves some accolades for designing such an easily daily driver-friendly engine.
