Question e53 grille, facelift fits on?

Dear all, hi

I got a question about e53 grille.

Does 00-02' grille fits on 03-06' of e53? I mean do these two models have exact same facelift or grille? Just found hot grille but it didn't say the year, only the name and spell of e53 written on the ads... I know they have pretty different headlights but the grille area? I saw it on wikipedia (in the "2003 Facelift" paragraph), mentioning about the facelift, but people in my area say "e53 is the e53, should be same".

From wikipedia,
In July 2003, the X5 LCI (Life-Cycle Impulse) was presented for the 2004 model year at the IAA 2003 in September, with new headlights, a few new exterior colors, a new four-wheel drive system and upgraded engines. The grilles were enlarged, as well as their actual slats being modified in a 'flame surfaced' style. In keeping with the E39 facelift of 2001, the 2004 X5's headlights got corona rings around all four headlamp projectors. The tail-lights also received a facelift similar to the BMW E39, and the exterior glass went from a "dotted" pattern to a cleaner "line" pattern. BMW invented a new four-wheel drive system dubbed xDrive shared both in the X5 and X3 in 2004. Instead of using the previous X5 system which consisted of power being split 62-38 (rear wheels-front wheels) and DSC to brake wheels losing traction, xDrive could vary power to the front or rear axles in milliseconds, transferring up to 100% of engine power to either axle, thus allowing the vehicle to regain traction quickly.
Please help me for the issue before I buy wrong item,

thanks
