Yes. Whether they stick with Ricardo (likely) or switch to another OEM, it will be a racing-specific transmission like all GT3 spec vehicles.
Those looking for controversy will have to wait for the next generation factory GT4 BMW. We don't know yet if it will be also be based on the G82 M4 or if they will switch to the G87 M2. But since it is highly likely that the G87 will also switch to a ZF8 transmission (with a 6MT still an option), it is a good bet that the GT4 racer will also use that transmission.
