Right, but the issue isn't whether he has DCT or not - he does (and I know it was a little confusing because he said "yes it is an M3 manual" - he meant the book, not the transmission). The issue is that this description:

"A car that has a "sport button" behind the shifting lever, a car that pushing the shifting lever to the left put it in a "sport mode", a car that if you leave it on manual mode without shifting for a while it goes back to "D"??? A car that has a button in the middle of the front middle vents says DTC on it and apparently it deactivated DSC and finally a car that has run flat tires!!!"

fits the 335is, not the M3. So if this is indeed coming from an M3 manual (booklet) then that's a mistake (a big one). This would not be a surprise - BMW (especially BMW NA) is notorious for letting such misinformation make it to print.

That said, the M3 supplemental manual doesn't mention anything about learning behavior either.
Yeah I think we can safely conclude the guy who suggested that above was mistaken.
