I think this is something that should be looked into further as well.

while bmw is giving the max torque rating for the transmission, I would be willing to bet the safety factor is larger than that number.

Best case scenario is we will find out when someones tranny starts slipping on gear shifts. Or launch's.

A quality tuner will limit the torque on launch's and feed it in throughout first gear till the car has better traction. This is how it was done by a tuner (APR) for the new v8tt in the S6/S7. And I think its a genius idea.
