Sport Automatic Transmission Gear Selector Switch Coded? Benefits?

So I orded my BMW without 2TB and im kind of bummed that i did that. When i asked my CA "Is the only difference the paddles" he said "Yeah" so I decided to forego the option.

Now after doing my research i found that people claim its way better I feel like its something i definitely want to have.

I also did a bunch of searches and found that people retrofit the gear selector lever and code the 2TB option. Now i believe this will give you all the functions of the sport shifter by questions are:

1) Can someone confirm that by simply coding it I can get"

No automatic upshift in manual mode when DSC is off, DTC on, or sport+ selected.

Automatic kickdown is deactivated when DSC is off, DTC is on, or sport+ is selected - When you stomp on the gas peddle it will automatically downshift for more power, this does not happen in sport manual mode, the driver has complete control like driving a manual transmission.

2) That the gear selector lever retrofit will get me "Super Fast Shifting"?

3) Will I get "Super Fast Shifting" by just the coding or do I need both?

4) Am i sh*t out of luck and wont get either, or wont just get the "Super Fast Shifting"?
