Yes it does stay in manual mode forget the cooking (standard ZF equipped BMWs) The M ZF apes MDCT in operation and functionality.
Gearshift shift strategies are dependant on the D mode selected D1/2/3 (just like MDCT) for me in auto the box responds better than the MDCT did in auto (less ghosts in the machine it appears)
In terms of user interface the M ZF8 is the same as MDCT same options same shifter select pattern, totally intuitive to anyone used to MDCT.
