because in fact it enjoyed a very flat torque curve. Just not as flat as the current model.

True.

If the current M3 had that sort of proportional power and torque, it would be quicker on a drag strip or a race circuit, and it wouldn't lose anything to the current model in terms of low-end driveability.

Not sure I agree. You're just speculating, essentially second guessing countless hours of R&D from some very good engine designers. I'm not suggesting those people are infallible, nor do I know how well grounded your technical expertise is, but I can comment on the futility of the exercise.
Because it's all very academic isn't it - you don't own a current model M3 and complain about it's engine, I do and and don't.
