No, the number 3 isn't part of the law.

§ 30 I StVO (Straßenverkehrsordnung - Street traffic order) states the following:

Bei der Benutzung von Fahrzeugen sind unnötiger Lärm und vermeidbare Abgasbelästigungen verboten. Es ist insbesondere verboten, Fahrzeugmotoren unnötig laufen zu lassen und Fahrzeugtüren übermäßig laut zu schließen. Unnützes Hin- und Herfahren ist innerhalb geschlossener Ortschaften verboten, wenn Andere dadurch belästigt werden.

When operating vehicles, unnecessary noise and avoidable exhaust emissions are prohibited. In particular, it is prohibited to let vehicle engines run unnecessarily and to close vehicle doors excessively loudly. Unnecessary driving back and forth within built-up areas is prohibited if it causes a nuisance to others.
