128i came standard with SSK or was I duped?

Hey guys. I ordered my SSK from Tischer BMW a few months back and finally had the chance to have the dealer put it in. During service I got a call from the guy telling me that the part number of the shift lever in there was the same as the one on the SSK. I did some quick googling and told him to put it in anyway as I knew that the car could not have came standard with it.

The car was bought at 30k miles, presumably from someone who leased it. I don't think the previous owner put any mods on it as the car was bone stock when I got it.

However, when I picked the car up from the dealer, the mechanic was right. Both shift lever's had the same part number. Looking at the part numbers on

and

The SSK lever part number is: 25117542200

The OEM lever part number is: 25117551263

Did my car already have an SSK in there? Did I just waste my money?

Old Lever

New Lever

Just sounds like the previous owner had it installed, that's all. Not even the 135is comes with the SSK on it.
