Guesses on the reason why the TQ increase for the manual is so much less than the auto?

I assuming it's a clutch holding torque limitation, but not sure. Maybe it's a 1st/2nd gear problem? These 340s, esp the xdrives have so much grip.

Seems like it should be able to easily handle another 14 lb-ft of TQ or else we're too close to the limit already...

I was all in on this or the JB4 - just trying to make up my mind. The decreased benefit for my 6MT car is disappointing! Not sure what to do.
