Bimmerfest is reporting that the LCI B7 will retain the Switchtronic gearshift buttons mounted behind the steering wheel despite the incorporation of the new 8-speed sport automatic gearbox:

That's an odd decision given the shift paddles available on the optional sport automatic 8-speed on the F10. I thought steering wheel mounted shift buttons were what you used if you didn't have paddles available in the parts bin. :
