Yes the X6 has the wheel with the paddles, but it can not simply be swapped to the X5. The X5 does not have the wiring from the transmission to the wheel built at the factory, so you will need one harness built exclusively for that purpose.

It is the same issue with you have a 1 or 3 series without the paddles. You will need the harness to be able to activate the paddles in the steering wheel.

Help me find a volunteer in SoCal and we will be able to install one in our cars pretty soon.
