Sorry, I don't agree.

Using the revs is a problem on the street.
The tall gearing issue has been beaten to death for a reason.
The tall gearing also hinders torque.
It's a problem? What kind of daily driving were you not able to do? A Toyota Camry from 2008 made 160 torque. How is it that could work as a daily driver but a 295 torque BMW from 2008 doesn't have enough torque to be daily driven?
