Also the side 'mounts' stock are two bolts about 1.75 apart whereas the CTS F30 unit is a single center bolt. The tab where the bolts would go is also too far down which would necessitate a fabricated bracket of some sort or something welded to the intercooler. No thanks.
I think the best bet would be to wait until someone makes an X3/X4 intercooler OR maybe the new X3 M 4.0 Intercooler is larger and fits. 
I took some pics of mine and I guess I'm going to list it on F30 Bimmerpost classifieds... |
The X3 M40i is a whole different chassis/engine B58 uses different parts. No one will spend time to make a direct bolt-on for the X3/X4 due to the lack of demand for it.
Quoted here what the other guy sent me and I sent my shop this same message since they do Fab full-time mainly Porsche, this was not a challenge for them.

If you get one you will figure it out it was just another screw for the mount that was needed
The fmic worked it just needed a small little work to get it to mount less than an hour or so. With a little jammy rigging and some new mount holes that need to be taped to the frame to fit.
