Can the B48 handle it? Yeah, but can the DCT? The transmission’s manufacturer rates it for 400nm of torque (7DCT-400 per a BMW parts website). It’s already sitting at that straight off of the showroom floor. What’s the logic behind trying to generate more power if you can’t actually put it down without risking blowing the transmission?
I made this point to someone else and they just po poed it.
