Welcome! Looks very nice.

Glue on the ribbon cable deteriorate and will start to loose contact and cause loss of pixels. I haven't open MID on X5 since my unit doesn't have the issue but opened one in Jaguar and Audi due to bad pixels. I added pressure where the ribbon cable contacts are by wedging in folded paper between the ribbon contacts and rear bracket that secures ribbon cable. It works perfectly after since the pressure created good contact again. Backlit LCDs are all similar in design so might work for X5 MID.
