That is easy. 2 steps...
  1. go to dealer and order 2006 with Xenons
  2. sell the 02 just before the 02 arrives
Just kidding. Yes it is possible (i would guess so) but the probability of it being cost effective or everything being pluy & play... I don't think so.

Sorry

too funny, hows about this:

1. remove old lamp
2. order new lamp
3. use empty lamp space as my intake
4. drive at night
5. pray!

but seriously, wonder if there is any software codes etc...

There are posts on Mini2 claiming that the '05-'06 Xenons interchange perfectly with the '03-'04 and require no software reprogamming. But as the '02s have no auto-leveling or headlamp washers, I would not expect it to work so easily.

--Oooh cool intake idea! You should put little spinning nose cones that look like jet engines in the intake so you'll look like a double barrelled batmobile! That would ROCK!
