BMW quotes peak TQ at 5860 RPM but this car made peak TQ much lower in the RPM range and the TQ figure is dropping before 5860.

5860 RPM is per https://www.topspeed.com/cars/bmw/20...-ar181079.html, couldn’t actually find this on BMW’s site.
They hit the 155mph limiter at 6000rpm. Shame they didn't take it to the limiter in 5th.

If you want proper specs etc, I always go to the press site. https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...on?language=en

The technical pdf has the full power curve.
