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.

Realize that with twin scroll turbocharger, Valvetronic, and engine management software that limits torque to rated figures, they have a lot of tools in the toolbox. An impressive graph, nonetheless.
