The answer is probably DCT. Since there was no firmware and no testing for B58 + DCT, even if it bolts up, they either had to switch to the ZF8 or keep DCT and use S55. They chose S55 and DCT. I think stock S55 and DCT are better for track use and fit the character of the car a bit more. |
It's has mostly to do with stability management
BMW spends countless hours data logging and testing each platform and programs each cars stability management accordingly
And additionally each major configuration has to be crash tested as well and that takes a shit ton of money as I'm sure we can all imagine without question
