Implementing Start/Stop on an auto box was traditionally more of a challenge as the engine must restart instantly when the driver moves from the brake to the accelerator.
In the official (German) brochure for the F20 on page 45:
"Auto Start-Stop Funktion i Verbindung mit Schalt- und Automatikgetriebe"
Meaning:
"Auto Start-Stop function in conjunction with manual AND automatic transmission"

So the text from the web site you refer to is obviously outdated
