Everything is possible it’s more the cost versus value, this upgrade looks more than a bumper swap, it will require headlights front and back and most likely control units, this will drive the cost up, granted it can be staged to make it affordable
Then there’s the inside to consider, seats and dash! Etc
I’m going to suggest it’s certainly doable, but possibly expensive! Back in day i done something similar on the E60 chassis, enjoyable but I’m more than sure I saved very little and lost again on resale, though the car is still driving around today and still looks stunning.......
Just be sure to get all bracketry if you proceed.... mstyle was a good source of Part packages, though don’t offer any body styling for the F25, most other aftermarket kits seem to be from >2014 I’m assuming it’s due to the light change that will most likely encompass front wings and bonnet too!

The new BMW X3 facelift is one of the most extensive life cycle impulses we have seen for BMW in the last few years. While in the past the changes focused on bumper changes and minor adjustments to headlights and taillights, or kidney grille, the latest update to the X3 stands out the most with the reshaping of the front fascia and the connection of headlights to the kidneys.
The compact and premium X3 looks more modern in the facelift and at the same a bit more aggressive on the road.
image comparison clearly shows which screws the BMW designers have turned to refine and evolve the second-generation X3.
Along with the visual changes comes some technical modifications or additions.
The main technical change as part of the BMW X3 facelift is the introduction of the all-new BMW B47 four-cylinder diesel engines for X3 xDrive20d and sDrive18d. The successor to the N47 comes with more power and lower fuel consumption, also meets the Euro 6 emissions standard and has more common parts with other engines used previously.
