There is no way to be sure what will fail in the next 50,000 miles. However, since you are not DIY the list of what might give you the best chance of achieving your goal will be expensive if only in comparison to the what the X5 is worth. As an example, if the suspension has not been rebuilt. Your X mileage is in the range where the suspension probably will need to be rebuilt within that 50,000 miles. I think what I would do is have your independent look everything over. What should be done is not necessary consistent from vehicle to vehicle. The is something to be said for the devil you know verses the devil you don't but if you buy a domestic vehicle, something that has fairly low miles on it I think the odds are in your favor, especially if you can purchase a warranty, to get where you want and the cost of repairs less if you don't. Another consideration is how safe the X5 is in comparison to what you can purchase within your budget.
