I think BMW knew what it was doing, when it kept the torque numbers (semi) modest, at 500. These engines are top-notch. Power is certainly not the problem.
Again, with the massive wheel spin we get in the first 2 gears, the torque gains are relatively pointless.
I can definitely see how it would help in highway driving (passing,etc). If we had all wheel drive cars, it would be a completely different story.
Am I wrong?

You are right but even with that said part of it is knowing how to drive with the new found power and there are always other options, for example tread!
I drive my M6 everywhere I go with DSC inactive and can drift it I'm any direction open throttle ect. But that comes with practice. I don't expect every car to drive like the last so be patient and learning its characteristics is key to driving it with limits.
Any way mine is hauling ass as I'm driving it the way it wa made to be driven.
Enjoy!
