To clarify, there's no official OEM retrofit kit, but the cluster is a 100% OEM part. It wouldn't work otherwise. The poster from HK is using an OEM part, too. It might not be the actual part number specified for the F15/F16, but clusters from the F10/F11/F12 chassis are physically and electrically compatible. General availability of the actual part for the F15/F16 just happened.
The retrofit physically has been possible since the F15 launch. But coding wasn't possible because the car's software wasn't able to communicate. I believe the I-Level corresponding to 52.0 (~July?) enabled it due to the 6WB option availability in the X5/X6 and SOP of those cars. If you tried to add 6WB to your VO it wouldn't work if you were running an I-Level lower. (This I-Level was also the one that added new icons into iDrive Navigation.)
The rear carbon fiber cover has no cut out for a hitch.
