Fair question!Dont know anyone that has done just the hood but the idea is tempting as with the bigger grills it will update your pre-facelift without the all the cost!I dont see why it cant be done!Just took some measurements here of x5s E53 we have at dealership and in fact it seems that that the pre-facelift X5 already lower in the middle on the bumper to accept the facelift hood!All you need to do (maybe not!!) is alter your pre-facelift bumper in the middle ,in case the hood hits it,so no big deal..
It will look something like this...Looks better than a facelift X5
