The steering wheel in my 2011 X3 M Sport is I think identical in shape to the one in my 2008 M5. I havent examined closely to determine 100% but pretty sure they are the same, except that the X3 has more buttons on it.
My wife thinks her X3 is so cool because it has the same steering wheel as my M5.

However, the sport steering wheel (with the thumb supports) looks like it'll use the same airbag/trim, so i don't see why it wouldn't be a direct swap.
As for the retrofit kit - there's never a retrofit kit to any car... For example, on my e90, i had the base, non-sport, steering wheel... terrible feeling. I sourced a sport airbag, got the mtech steering wheel AND the m3 steering wheel, and it was a direct fit...
