What is your question actually about?

Does 335i make 300HP max and 300 lb*ft max? Yes. Your dyno charts actually show pretty much exactly that, accounting for drivetrain losses.

Does peak torque come at 1400-1500 RPM? Your chart shows that it actually comes around 2100 RPM. I don't know what caused that, but the max-torque RPM value does tend to float around, depending on the conditions.

Or is your question about something else? You do understand that "1400-1500 RPM" value applies to max torque only, not to max HP, right? By definition, max HP is always achieved later (i.e. at higher RPM) than max torque. And if the torque curve is relatively flat, then max HP is always achieved much later than max torque.
