I had my sales guy exhaust all channels and every response back now is the same. No heated MSport steering wheel, No shifting paddles. What kills me is the X6 has shifting paddles option but not the X5. Heck are these cars basically the exact same from the Bpillar forware with the exception of the bumper??
I hate to break it to you, but the 2013 X5 with ZMP (M-Sport) pkg *does* have shifter paddles on the 7XA wheel (but not I believe the 710 wheel) - I have one sitting in my driveway, and despite the order guide claiming that the heated wheel option (248) could not be ordered in conjunction with 7AX it appears as though some members may have succeeded in ordering such!

p.s
7XA != 710 != wheel on X5M AFIAK
