Its not pre-wired for it, because the m5 knob has a small connector on the end of the wires, which you cut off and then use the wires to tape into the wire harness I showed in the DIY.
Yes I believe ALL 1 series have this white connector, which we tap into for power, I even saw it on an Automatic 1 series...
Once you remove the boot, you should see a loom of wires running to the right of the shifter, if you follow those wires, you'll have to remove the big foam piece then you'll see the white connector...
Here is a picture I found online of the foam piece...
