So, it's not that BMW can't do it; it's that they won't do it.

Exactly. They absolutely, most definitely can retrofit a steering wheel with paddle shifters. These cars are built to have interchangeable parts at this level - we're not talking about sawing a hole in the roof (which they can also do BTW if needed) we're talking about a steering wheel w/shifters vs without. Worst case scenario they would need to ship a new wheel equipped with the paddles to the dealer along with any associated wiring/electronics changes and perform the swap.

Them saying they "CANT" is them saying they "WONT" and to me that's unacceptable. You ordered the car as stated, they need to make it right AND compensate you for this hassle.

Or, you can start a website and tell everyone about the "ultimate experience" you have had buying a BMW. How would they like that?

Don't back down, you will get what you want...AND the retrofit.
