Intro, new nav and questions

Hey, wanted to introduce myself and get some questions answered at the same time if I could. I have been lurking for a while, I just picked up my 07 MCS. Coming from an 09 135i is a big change but I love the car, it is an absolute blast to drive. It came with camber plates and adjustable coilovers so the grins keep coming The thing that has been getting to me is the steering wheel. After some research I see that all the 07+ cars have the 3 spoke. As you can see this one does not. I want to get the 3 spoke JCW wheel and add the MFSW buttons but I am not sure it's possible. The other thing is the new nav and mount. I just got the new Nuvi 1200 and mount. The dealer said that I was the first to have this new system and mount and I did a search but came up empty. I can actually position the Nuvi anywhere around the tach I want, very handy and it matches my tach when I have the Nuvi stored. Very cool...
