How did the magazines get 0-60 in 3.9 seconds with the stock M3? Because it has no torque?

Longboarder, you're completely missing the point here; you're better than this. The E9X definitely has low torque because peak torque is only 295 lb-ft.
Shape of the torque curve, gearing, and actual performance figures don't mean anything.
When we get an M3/M4 with a higher stated peak torque, all the magazine racers will finally be happy.
