I personally like the low-end torque and to have plenty of power available. In fact, I'll use this power once or twice a month. I also respect the engine's operating temperatures and change oil more frequently than BMW recommends. Behaving like this I never had any engine / tuning related issue so I feel very comfortable with the PROcede. The results of the 12h endurance race are also one significant factor that I can trust the PROcede according to my needs.

I agree. Just because an extra 100hp is there, doesn't mean it's always being used. Beating on a stock car every day could be much rougher on the drivetrain than a sedate driver with a tune that takes the car to the track a few times a year.
