45 psi cold ?! Maybe on a 45 sec Autocross. I gain 6-7 psi on the track on a warm day. When I came in with 40 psi the tires started to feel chewy. Next time I will start out with 32-34 psi cold tires.

You are right. The test uses the E92 328i with the 3.0l NA engine. Still, far more torque than the 86. It is the new 328i that has a 2.0 T.
