There should be no issues with going to redline. If it is not following your commands, you're probably being way too aggressive with shift requests. You might even be hitting or getting too close to fuel cut-off and not realizing it.

Look at this M5 video. Completely different from the video you showed. I think that person just doesn't know how to drive the car.
That's me. You can see from the odometer I've set on sport + and manual shift first gear (M1), and sport traction.

If you short shift well before the redline(~6000 rpm) upshift responds ok but not great. Downshifts were slow no matter what I tried, especially if I try to shift the same way I do with my M3, dropping lower gear right near the redline.

Compare that with this.
