Paddle shifters retrofit quick question...
Hi motorers!
I want to retrofit paddle shifters to my F60 Countryman (I know I should post this in F60 section but this one gets more people/possible answers)
I got a JCW wheel from eBay but it has different cruise control layout... (see pics below)
If I swap my OEM cruise control buttons/whole assembly, will it work?
Or would it work out of the box with just a swap of steering wheel and get used to new buttons layout?
I’d rather just swap the steering wheels and move on to recoding with eSys... But I don’t want to run in any trouble...

JCW wheel
Funny I also just bought and installed a JWC wheel for my 17 F56. Everything was plug and palay and seems to work as normal except for the paddle shifters. Called my local dealer to see if they could apply a simple recode, waiting to hear back. I will also put a call out to miniusa, keep you posted.

Not sure if paddles will be activated from factory if you have sport transmission. Worst case, it can be coded!

And you’d have to fit them to the existing steering wheel, which looks a bit involving on BMW forums...
Getting a JCW steering with paddles ensures everything will fit!
I got aa steering from Poland on eBay, and although cruise contrl buttons were not the same layout, it fits plug and play. Dealer told me coding was not possible so I got a cable off eBay and got it remote coded for around (cable and prog) $120. (My local dealer
charges the dsme for one hour...)
