torsional rigidity numbers on B8 chassis? different for S4?

I was wondering what the torsional ridigity is for our car, measured in Nm/deg. On a new BMW 3 series sedan without folding rear seats, it's about 22,000 Nm/deg. Is there additional chassis bracing in an S4 over a regular B8 A4?

what difference does it make? More important numbers are slalom, skidpad, and dry/wet course numbers IMO for chassis.
