Is the 3rd cooler for engine oil or transmission fluid? It obviously has something to do with PDK, as it is an entirely different transmission than the 6-speed.

My guess (from their Tiptronic days) is that the third cooler is strictly for the PDK cooler.

I may be mistaken, but I think this 3rd radiator is for engine coolant, not transmission cooling. PDK cars in persistent (high track temp) full attack mode (Sport Plus) push the engine to higher temps. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

I guess it is beacuse of the black spokes. The black air bag cover will look like crap on any non-black intrerior color, IMO.

That doesn't make sense to me; on track the engine will be pushed just as hard in a well driven 6-speed car. Like in my old Tiptronic, I too suspect it is a transmission cooler.
