Since the manual shifting works, it must be either paddle or wire issue, right? What do you experts think?
Since they replaced the paddle(switches) and it still doesn't work it's more likely a steering column issue or possible a interface issue. The communication between the various controllers and inputs (engine controller and transmission controller) is via digital data buses. The paddles are interfaced to bus electronics so that's another possibility. The BMW engineers will suggest some tests and then (hopefully) get back with a solution.

Hope they gave you a nice loaner to drive.
