The G8X uses the ZF S6-53 manual transmission that is rated at 600Nm by ZF. BMW isn't willing to use this transmission on an unlimited production car with more Nm than the manufacturer is rating the transmisson at, imagine if in a few years a ton of G8X needs a new manual transmission because BMW didn't follow the ZF rating, that will cost BMW a lot ton of money. But on this limited production car BMW could be willing to ignore the rating, because even if there are failures, it won't have much to say because of the limited amount.
