If it's like the N54, the power will peak at 1200 but the power curve stays flat until it drops (and HP takes over) at much higher rpm, about 5200 rpm for the N54. It means you have full torque available throughout an entire rpm range, quite a feat for BMW! I love driving the 135i, even with MT it's a treat to use that broadband of torque around town.
