Yeh, i understand maximum torque produced by engine is generally at maxiumum fill which is mainly determined by cam's and timing. And so for street cars, this is desireable at cruising speed rpm for best petrol economy, However :
---- Im still wondering how BMW and porsche engines have "iron flat" torque curves. How does an engine do this??
Cheers for any input (not redefinitions of torque!!!)

cool, so you understand that the amount, or extent, of cylinder filling (commonly referred to as "volumetric efficiency") is directly related to the torque curve? (the VE and torque curve are almost mirror images, except for some mechanical loss as rpm increases)
so how do they get their "iron flat" torque curves? the flat torque curve reflects the VE curve, so by definition, the Beemer and porsche motors must have consistent cylinder filling (VE) over a wide range of rpm.
How do they do this?
by spending lots of money on cylinder head and intake tract development, with the end goal of having high volumetric efficiency over as wide a range of engine speeds possible.
also by having variable valve timing and lift, and many other gismos and gadgets (variable runner length etc).
basically what it comes down to is that they have a far more 'efficient' design.
is that what you wanted to know?
