    I don't think so, you might be able to order the Bluetooth FRU or just get a USB Bluetooth dongle.

    No.

    Just get a tiny bluetooth receiver like this:
    Tiny USB 2.0 Bluetooth V2.0 EDR Dongle Wireless Adapter | eBay

    I have a similar sized wireless receiver for my Logitech mouse. They are so tiny that you can just plug into your USB port and forget about it. I've never removed it since plugging it in a year ago. You lost one USB port this way, but you gain two USB ports on the Express Card anyway.
