Yes, it's possible, but very expensive if done by mini/bmw.
If You want to do it by yourself you've to find mfl switches for your steering wheel (cheap on ebay), and then buy hearnesses and sensors to be installed on clutch pedals. Then you have to install it all following bmw instructions (you can find it on the net, I think MF has it) and take your cooper to bmw to code the ecu.

Sorry for my bad english

Here is a previous thread about this subject;

If you search for Multifunction Steering Wheel or MFSW I think you will find others.

[FONT=Verdana]I just went through this last month....all i needed to do was purchase 2 things, and 1 hr of programming. you DO NOT need to buy a whole new steering wheel....you just need the multi-function switches, they are $171 from www.allminiparts.com, also you may need to replace the Switch assembly that runs the Wipers and Signal lights...i negotiated that price at the Dealer for $398....then all you need is to have them activate it and you are good to go....Now that being said, Have them see if they can program it first without buying the signal light assembly, some cars have the right one, mine just didn’t....Don’t let the dealer talk you into 2 hrs for the program, thats BS....tell them that you will only pay for an hour.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]If they tell you it is necessary to replace the Steering wheel switch assembly, then make sure the part numbers are different on teh one they plan to use...also if the need to replace it make sure you get the old part from them to possibly sell it on Ebay.[/FONT]
