Though true, the x5 pump will be submerged fully until you are below 10-15 miles to empty. It appears actually that the dashboard DTE doesn't even include most of the surge tank.

(Wife's car, when surge tank is overflowing to the main tank, shows 1.4L on the test six. If the tank is 8L that leaves 6.6L when the tank reads 0.0L total. (Meaning you can likely drive another 20-30 mi. past 0mi. DTE.

Anybody able to chime in with real world example of how many miles past 0 DTE the x5 can actually drive?

I plan to drive my just fixed x5 down to zero (with can of gas in the trunk of course), then open the tank and see how much is in the surge tank.
