I am also in need of a modified bios for my X230, with all of the cool features unlocked. I listed the requested features but let me know if you have suggestions...
I think this is all of them:
- Battery whitelist removal
- WiFi Whitelist removal
- WWAN Whitelist removal
- Advanced Menu
- 16GB eGPU fix
I have extracted my curent bios with soic8 clip and the file is attached to this post. For good measure, here is the sha1sum:

Mods for Lenovo x230, tested on bios version 2.73, PhoenixTool 2.73.
These changes were taken from other sites and other Lenovo models, adapted for the x230 and tested on personal laptop.
You need to dump the bios from your notebook, from what I read you can't flash someone else bios dump, your laptop will not boot. Use the PhoenixTool part from here http://developers-club.com/posts/219893/

We click "Done" and "Go", when the window will open we click nothing and we go to the DUMP folder where our Bios is unpacked.
Replace the Date Tab with the Advance Tab in Bios File: 32442D09-1D11-4E27-8AAB-90FE6ACB0489
