Paddle shifters retrofit on sport line

Hello so I got a 2019 BMW 330i G20 with the sport line PKG (no paddles) I saw the M PERFORMANCE steering wheel and was interested in it as I wanted the paddles. I went to my BMW dealer to see if I could get the steering wheel they said yes it will fit but the paddles won’t work. So I asked if we could retro fit the paddles and the response was this “Paddles not available as a regularly offered retrofit but there is another process we can follow to inquire about the possibility. Essentially it will be a custom install that will incur costs (I think that last one we did was $250 just to ask) to have BMW Germany start it. From there we will know for sure whether it can be done along with the necessary parts, possible software, and labor.
Let me know if you will be ok with possible charges to ask?”

Has anyone heard about this at all? $250 dollars just to see if it will work?

i made a thread about this. i have everything in the M-package except paddle shifters with the sport tranny. it bugged me at first, but honestly I'm sure when XHP develop a tranny tune it will shift quicker. the paddles I can do without I guess....it's the sport tranny with launch control I want more. did you attempt a launch control with yours? i can't get mine to do it.
