Codding M1 & M2 buttons

Hi there
Is it possible to add M1 & M2 knobs to code Sport and Sport+ modes on them?
IMHO its not easy to change a Mode near the gearbox selector

No idea about cod fishing, but in terms of coding, it has been asked previously in forums.

All answers were no.

However, I am sure if you have deep pockets, some programmer somewhere could figure it out for you.

Originaly, on M-cars M1 & M2 knobs are OEM manufacture installed and JUST dublicate Sport and Sport+ modes. I dont knok why BMW 'killed' these knobs on M-sport packages

When I test-drived M4 last time, I used this knobs while driving - was SOOO useful, much easier than trying grope S+ knob near the selector area))
So now really want this retrofit.

Would the buttons fit regardless of coding them to work properly? Taking the wheel apart, removing the blank place holders/button fillers and then installing the red M1/M2 buttons? I know it might sound lame to install them and not have them be functional, but I love the little splash of red that goes with the start/stop button. Just curious is they would install, not function?

You can add all the nonfunctional parts you want.
