Not trying to worry you, I am sure it will be fine, but look forward to your results.
I don't think a new slip ring will be needed. I checked realoem and they had different part numbers for things like high beam assist, etc. No mention of paddles or 2tb for any steering wheel electronics.

Also a dealer here has retrofitted paddles on a few X3s (they only changed the steering, and did some wiring). I've got the wiring details from patryk at bimmer tech.

Hope the steering reaches me soon (damn Indian customs will mess it up).

I'm only worried about coding, since the F25 doesn't seem to have any SZL module to code. Possibly VO coding 2TB to the car will work, since paddles are an option on the X3.

As for the column cowl, to be honest even the F10 had a similar shape and size steering wheel, and they switched to this smaller M sport with the faclift and I don't think the cowl is changed. Assuming the X3 cowl will be similar in size to the F10s so I think it should fit fine.
