As I said, my 135i (not M135) definitely has a P.
I'm not convinced that DCTs can't have a P. I think BMW designers removed the P just because they like to be "different". Just like messing with the turn signals. Next they will re-invent the wheels.

My F80 M3 had DCT and was exactly the same as the M2. You could only put it in P if you turned the car off I'm either D or manual gear.

If I want to just stop without turning it off, then I put it in neutral and use the handbrake. I think they did it this way to kinda give DCT the feeling of a stick shift car....kinda. I mean the same reason they made the reverse gear the way they did where you have to shift left and up.

I was responding to the post that said the 135 had a ZF and not a DCT. I never commented to anything about Park.

Me too.
Sorry I didn't make it clear.
I quoted your post in support of my statement that 135 had a DCT.

The car came with manual. Why do you ask?
I didn't find the search smart
I ask because the answers to most of your questions can be found in the manual.
I also mentioned that the smart search is in the car. Once you have the search feature open, you start typing something and a filtered list of results start showing up, just like in Google.
