I don't particularly like my non-sport steering wheel; its too big. Can a sport wheel be retro-fitted?

Yes it can!

Get the M-steering wheel from your dealer.

Takes about an hour to be changed.

See me M5 steering wheel with paddle shifts below. It's do-able, but at a cost.

Of course, the paddle shifts works on yours. I don't have SMG either. I have steptronic/automatic transmission.

I don't sell the steering wheel and paddles, but I do sell the wiring harness and modified steering wheel switches which interface with steptronic/automatic transmission.
