I believe it goes like this:
PDMR - 4-cyl 5-series manual
PDAR - 4-cyl 5-series auto
LDAR - 6-cyl 5-series/GT auto
XDAR - S-Class, A7, 7er

I doubt there are many PDMRs on fleet in Spain. That size of car always seems to be auto. In fact, for that matter, I've never seen a FDMR in Spain either - always been given an FDAR 3-series auto.
