2011 D3 Biturbo

Ok I may be being stupid here...

Thinking of selling the B10 and moving to something a little newer due to the miles I rack up. I'm short of ideas but could quite fancy an E9x D3 Biturbo. Would have to be an auto, but when I've looked at the few that are currently for sale, I noticed the steering wheel doesn't have the trademark up and down arrows for the manual override on the gearbox - do these not have the Alpina switchtronic function??

The E90 is available in auto with “ flappy buttons” I own #454 which is a 2011 ( 61 ) Auto with lux pack, and drive/sport and the manual buttons too. They are behind the spokes and appear on the top of the spokes, so you can’t see them from a photo taken from drivers seat. I have owned the car since November after looking for one for 9 months - ideal motor if you do the miles - I managed 53.2 mpg on a run out recently. :D
