if your car is automatic you might be able to hack the wiring harness to get it to work, but that voids the warranty. The stealership might be able to retro fit if there's a kit otherwise try mrpaddleshift.com, but they're expensive probably around $1500 to $2000 at a guess

It should be the same as on E90. It is a semi-easy work when you have the sport wheel (on the E90, the airbag is different between the sport wheel and the normal wheel). It voids the warranty only for related items, and honestly it has very little chances to cause any sort of problems, the paddles are inert, and you attach to the original buttons on the AT stick, which are similar electric flicks.
