I would bet my life the new M2 is not making 550bhp from factory lol but that's why I found it weird it comes up and no one questions it.
regarding your signature

HP is what you want
Torque is what the engine makes
HP is just Torque x RPM

hence you need the torque curve vs RPM so you can see where the HP is
unfortunately in real life i don't know how they add up

on my M340i torque is 500nm 1800-5000 rpm

but i swear the car doesn't push me into the seat until i get to 3000rpm at low speed, and not until 4000 rpm at high speed. despite the NM bar on my car showing max torque at 1800rpm as expected.
