Completely true, I do wonder if having turbos allows BMW to keep them quite a bit closer than it was in the old S85 or S65 days.
I also call complete rubbish on the 1500rpm figure for max torque, I feel like 2000rpm or so it much more realistic. Not a complaint though - the engine is just so amazing I don't think you could complain about anything at all in regards to power delivery.
