The paddles are extra.
You can still manually shift - like you can in the E53 - with the right hand shifter - sport mode/up or down.
There are 4 M-Mode options to 'tweak' - indicated above. It's not like the SMG settings in the M3/M5. That's a good thing
Launch control is something else to play with, but available only after the dealer programs it in (post break in).
