The reason, I'm told, why they dropped the DCT was it's inability to cope with more power and torque which S58 produces, than what S55 did

They could just add the model designation behind it on whatever special model(s) they want

The M3 and M5 had celebratory models for their 30 year anniversaries, but 2022 being the 50 year anniversary for BMW M GmbH, i think any model could get the designation

.... and they will according to my M-rep
That's nonsense, ZF makes the PDK for Porsche and it can handle more torque than what the S58 puts out. ZF has a lot of transmissions in their lineup as do other companies which can more than handle things.
