Whilst it doesn't feel like this amount of torque is pushing the drivetrain beyond it's mechanical limits, a hefty gear change can still wallop my back from time to time and I do spare a thought for the poor old clutch. 10,000 miles down the road already and no sign of any issues yet though.

It feels like this is at the top end of what the tyres can hold, even with super sticky Pilot Super Sports.
So what is the life time of your rear brake pads? We have 19000 km on our 116i now, and the iDrive claims they must be replaced in 3100 km. I assume the more powerful cars eat the brake pads rather quickly if you have a heavy right foot.
