Can you swap speedo/radio unit from a newer Mini into 2004 R53?

Saw attached picture speedo/stereo unit on local Craigslist. Ad says it fits Mini Cooper 2004-2012 and has Bluetooth, but my 2004 S has a very different looking speedo unit with analog temp and fuel gauges. Wondering if this one would hook up and function as it should or if it would be more cost/time efficient to just swap my factory deck for an aftermarket one from Crutchfield. Reason I'm thinking about it is I'd like to get Bluetooth functionality and the price is less than I'd pay for an aftermarket stereo + adapter + shipping.
