I am programming a EV3 in microPython 2. I have another python 3 program running on a laptop and this program should send data to the EV3 wirelessly. Is it possible via bluetooth? If it isn't possible how should I do it?
How can Mindstorms EV3 communicate with my PC via Bluetooth?

About communication between EV3 and python code running on a laptop, First we need to install the module python-ev3dev2 with the command:
pip install python-ev3dev2
About its usage, you can refer to ev3dev2.
Ensure that your ev3dev device is turned on and has a network connection to the host computer. Here Bluetooth works and there's a demo you can refer to: vscode-hello-python.

I don't know the answer to this and I don't have an EV3 brick to try this with. As you haven't said what you have tried, I thought I would share some ideas for experiments to try.
I looked at the ev3-micropython documentation about Bluetooth and my search gave me this: https://pybricks.github.io/ev3-micropython/messaging.html
This looks like the Bluetooth communication might be based on Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) so it might be worth seeing if SPP clients can communicate.
A first experiment might be to start a BluetoothMailboxServer on the EV3 and see if are you able to pair with it from your PC? (By the way, what OS are you running on your laptop?).
If you have Windows, do these instructions from this URL help: https://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Bluetooth-to-PuTTY-on-Windows-10/
On a Linux laptop, does creating a client this way work: http://blog.kevindoran.co/bluetooth-programming-with-python-3/
Another alternative on Linux, is create a client this way: https://bluedot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/btcommapi.html#bluetoothclient
If you have an Android phone, you could try pairing with the EV3 service from the phone and then trying to connect with this SPP app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kai_morich.serial_bluetooth_terminal
The other alternative is that the BluetoothMailboxServer might be using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). If that is the case, then you can find more information if you have a recent version of the Chrome browser on your laptop. Go to the URL
chrome://bluetooth-internals/#devices
and do astart scan
. Does the EV3 device turn up?
