Could this shifter be swapped to the M40i?

This is the shifter from the 2023 BMW XM, any chance the shifter could be swapped into the M40i? Thanks in advance for any info.

That appears to be the first and only part of the XM I like. If that doesn’t have that annoying plastic seem down the rear center, I’m in!

Edit: I wonder what those buttons on the left of P do

Looks very similar to the gear shift in the X3M?

It looks like the one in the X3M. Assuming part #s are the same then yes the X3M will work on the M40i. Others did this swap on here.

I wouldn't compromise the function for the look, I believe the one next to "P" will just be a decoration lol but yes it looks good!

Selected Drivelogic program...it's on page 139 of my old owner's manual, 2020 x3mc. Controls the shift/tach. Never touched it.
