He mentioned that the M button was responsible for switching to a more aggressive throttle map (which we all knew) but that it also increases torque. Has anyone heard of this other function, or is thus just bad information?

Bad information, they mixed something up. If the button would increase torque constantly, they would say the button increases horse power. But they don't, so it doesn't

Not sure your assumption is true. If torque is marginally increased at sub-5252rpm, it's unlikely to result in a higher peak hp number, since the current hp peak is at 5900.

I wonder if maybe the overboost is only available with the M button engaged?

What I read is, that overboost can't be switched off in a Z4 35is so my assumption is that it also can't in the 1M. Of course, I might be wrong, but the statements about the M-button I read and heared so far were only about the throttle mapping, which is influenced by the M-button.

And I honestly still don't know what this M-button is for then. I don't care about fake responsiveness generated with just increased throttle input with the help of electronic throttle management. I hope I'm wrong, but my feeling says I'm not. So please proof me wrong!!
