The ZF is limited to 7200rpm, so they also limited the 6MT to 7200.

Obviously the day there is a tune you can allow the 6MT to go to 7500.

Since the stone age, BMW M 6MT trannys have taken massive amounts of abuse with no issue. People are at 650wtq with the 6MT in the F8X with a stock clutch and the 6MT in the G8X is reinforced vs the F8X. I don't think anyone will have the slightest problem
