My previous '98 BMW 540iA with 4.4L V8 had 310 ft-lb of torque at 5500rpm.
Imagine that torque on a body that weighs 1000lbs less.
A Mazda6 with 2.5T will be snappy....
Very tempted, but my '16 GT is less than 2yr old......
Take a look again, you've mixed up the numbers for your BMW.
you had the TU (Technical Update) 1998+ version. according to Wikipedia it makes 325ft/lb of torque at 3600RPM, but being a BMW motor 90% of that torque is available from barely 2000RPM - very good design for it's time.
for the sake of conversation, you always avoid the V8 and 4-cylinder BMW's if you are looking for a reliable one.
