It is not all about torque curves, but HP curve does matter.

HP curve drops very near redline though, even more so for 328i than for 335i, in fact for 328i the HP curve almost peaks at redline then drop dead after. If you are correct, then no one would ever push redline under any circumstances, there would be no point. But you know it is not so.
My point was, if the optimum points for the 335i are close to redline, it should be even more so for the 328i. Either the software analysis was wrong for the 335i, or something else is at play, I speculated it could be the higher gear ratio the 328i uses.
