Welcome to the board! The info here is great!!!
I think it would be very costly to add the SAT wiring after-the-fact. But you should check with the dealer just in case. Another way of going would be to add the aux input and buy an aftermarket portable SAT unit. Not as clean as factory installed and won't display on the idrive but will play through your factory system.
Just a thought!

the dealers can retrofit sat radio, but you end up with a hockey puck stuck on your trunk lid. Factory installed sat radio uses the shark fin antenna.
