Yes and no. I agree with the part I did not quote but from all reviews thus far the low end torque is not a problem at all in the new car. Gunning it at 40-50 mph in 4th is fantastic as we have heard. I think the flexibility of the motor - the combination of a very flat, broad torque curve along with the insane redline will be the highlight of the car.
As far as the temperature concern goes - if the cooling system is anywhere close to as good as it is on my E36 M3 it will never leave dead center of the range, cold weather or beating it on the track in hot weather. I think cooling is something BMW has traditionally done quite well.
