The lump I meant was that the 335i has all of it happening from around 1500rpm right up to 5000rpm all 300ft/lbs which is trickier to control, one of the faults of turbo engines, it's that all or nothing thing which isn't pleasant when conditions are slippy. Below this 1500rpm the M3 being N/A will still be producing torque where as the 335i will be like a 50cc scooter (joke).
Maybe the 335i is different than every other turbo car I have owned or driven but this is how each of them behave when it's slippy.
