M Steering Wheel and SMG Shift Paddles

Is there a special M Steering Wheel used on vehicles with the SMG shift paddles? Would the one shown in the pic work?

Yes, you will need a SMG-specific steering wheel.

Thanks guys. This was not an X5 related question (shame on me). I saw that steering wheel on eBay for a good price and I was thinking I'd change out my M3's old one. I thought you could just transfer the SMG paddles over.

You can transfer the paddles but the "steering shell" like the pic you posted, would still need to be an SMG one.
