re: Any X5 owners here?

Oh I agree. BMW does strange things from dealer to dealer as well. I had one dealer looking on eBay and at auctions to find me what I wanted, and when I showed them the perfect car located at another dealer they said they couldn't get it. I had to get it on my own. So, you can search their BMW USA site for CPOed vehicles but can't go to your local dealer and have them get it for you. I wanted one that was still under the dealer service agreement with records of all transactions. Not easy to get on auction cars.
