My opinion if G87 gets 500+hp, it will be either CS or CSL edition(auto only).

Gut feeling, this is what is planned.
The main driver for what the MT can handle is not hp, it's all about torque. The current MT can't handle the higher torque of the Competition models. BMW to my knowledge has zero interest to invest in a MT that can since this is the very last ICE car, blah blah blah, there's no business case.
