Is the clock spring replaceable on its own?

Does anyone know if the clock spring is individually replaceable on the F10, or do I have to replace the entire steering switch unit? I have a feeling my clock spring is going bad, my paddle shifters seem to only shift consistently when the steering wheel is turned a certain amount. Already confirmed that everything is working as expected on the steering wheel itself.

Looks like it's pretty easy (though not an F10)...

I didn't see a listing for a separate clock spring (BMW calls it Steering Column Switch Cluster).

Looks expensive:

Yep, the actual replacement doesn't look hard. Was hoping I can just buy the clock spring alone, but it looks like I can't, and my dealer said they're never sold separately. Seeing if I can buy a salvage SZL and just swap the clock spring and turn stalk over. Going to retrofit the HBA button while I'm at it, might as well.
