    Probably any one between those numbers should work if the end digits are just revisions.
    Prev 2008 R32 3 door DSG.
    Prev 2010 S3 Sportback Stronic.
    Now Lexus IS350 F Sport

    That is correct. Appendix at the end of the number is just the superseded part. As long as you have been quoted via your VIN then there will be no issue

    Order what's applicable to your VIN.

    The suffix does not always mean a revision

    Apparently he can only choose auto gerbox....wouldnt let him click on manuel...was a bit strange. ..but he is an expert in german cars and uses his own diagnostic tool..maybe I shoukd try it with ross tech
