Guys, a few observations about torque from my side. An M3 actually has more torque at the wheels than a 335 above ~2000 rpms, stock vs stock, due to the aggresive gearing its wider rev band allows for (for 6MT, the difference is in the final drive ratios and not the individual gear ratios: 3.85 vs. 3.08). So, I must say that torque is not an issue given the two cars weigh close. I have never had any problems with finding the torque that I needed/could safely put down at the track, and I don't feel like it requires excessive shifting with the stock gear ratios. You might need to shift a bit more with DCT, but that's what it's for! My 2 cents...
