i believe it will work. I have done the reverse and put a x230 bluetooth module in an x220 no problems. I believe the port is a modified USB port with a custom connector. Just need the drivers from that model (or rather generation)

Not sure if the 10 series will work - they were considerably different from the close cousins of the 20/30 series.
