The manual is torque limited by ZF to 600Nm and nominally by BMW to 550Nm (probably as they know their published figures are under estimates of typical output for a given engine). This is the main reason why the G8x vehicles don't have the option of a manual in the CS variants and the M4 CSL has torque limits applied to keep within the 550Nm spec.
The G87 manual feel is quite good, above average for any manual car and as good as any BMW I have driven in the past, even though it is not in the top echelon of all manual transmissions.
