40kph isn't even maxing out 1st gear, let alone 2nd. In third, you're at cruising speed. If you want to pull from 2000rpm, get a small turbo. Or, as others have said, downshift to 2nd, where you'll have enough power to get going and, in a turn, enough to fishtail. One of the appeals of this car is that you actually have to engage to go fast.

Even the 4.8L V8 of my 550i wouldn't pull well from 2000rpm.
