In theory yes.

Trouble is I don't know how easy it would be to obtain the relevant software and what is required to flash the gearbox ecu. It's not just a simple coding job.

Another stupid BMW decision, it's marketing departments fault to only offer higher spec options on higher spec models.
I'm not too bothered about paddles but for a £110 option I would have had them if I was allowed to spec them when ordering.
