It's about 'area under the curve' on a dyno chart. The more the merrier for us power junkies!

It is also interesting to note that the general trend at BMW is to raise the peak rpm into very high regions to make that increased NA power. While the FI N54B30 is redlined at 7K, a more civilized street motor all around, making all that lovely torque down low where it's usable on the street. It's oft said that we buy horsepower and drive torque.
