Retrofit gear shifter

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to retrofit the gear shifter of an 2020 xDrive25e for the more modern one like the xdrive20i has?

Would be interesting but I am not going to Guinea pig this, already doing a comfort access retrofit which no successfully finished on the F48 yet but I am close to that. So this is for grabs for someone else.

While it's possible to change the knob style, you can't change how the system works (i.e., shifter + gearbox).

So, you will still have a long shifter but with a new knob style. You can't have the new electronic system (short shifter).
