It's just nice to see what numbers are possible from the old BMW "base" motor.

Meh, if low end is less than what you had stock (stock 328I manifold) then yeah, probably it would be terrible. But when it comes to "race" engines, that's probably not the case:
Stock M54 manifold vs ITB on a Dmod motor. Still making 200lb-ft as low as 2500rpm.
If I had the cash, I'd have the head ported, custom headers and bask in 260whp+ goodness.
