I'm wondering because this would mean I could buy any 335i without paddle-shifters and eventually add them aftermarket which makes my market search open up a lot more.

Simple answer: yes.
I have a 2010 w/o sport package (no paddles).
all you have to do is move your stick knob to the left (this activates sports mode). To engage in manual mode, just push it up or down once. It will display what gear you are in on your dash. M2 (manual 2nd gear), M3 (manual 3rd gear), etc.
Have fun. Drive safe.
