oldskewel,
Correct, the nut is M27.
I took a random photo of X5 E53 axle from the web to show the anatomy.
The threaded section will go through the 30-mm hole and the splined section will certainly get stuck, but you can easily re-position the tool!
Anyway, someone needs to play with this tool on the X5 and report back...
