I've done this on a 2011 X3. It's not a straight forward swap, however it's not particularly hard either. The panel mounting points don't all line up with the original HVAC controls. The solution is to either replace the "mounting cage" behind the HVAC panel or Dremel out a couple spots on the back of the new panel to clear some of the mounting points. All in all it took me maybe 15 minutes to do the swap. No coding is required at all and everything works great. Huge improvement to the interior and it might just be me but I swear some of the heating elements respond faster now... like the seats warm up faster.
