Torque converters can't spin faster than 7500rpm or so reliably. Certain performance cars have had their redlines electronically limited lower when mated to an automatic. It's possible they'll have a higher redline in the M3 pure.
EDIT: The specs list the motor producing peak power between 5950-7300 rpm although the car has a redline of 7200rpm. That tells me that BMW is using the 7200rpm redling for the ZF 8HP torque converter and that the M3 Pure could potentially have a 7300 or higher redline.
