Adding refrigerant to the X5 has to be the easiest thing I have even done to a car. Not even kidding. Buy a can with the builtin gauge, start your car and put the AC on max. Connect the can to the low pressure side (it will only fit the low pressure side) which is very very accessible BTW. Read the gauge (will probably be below 25 psi) and squeeze the trigger while rocking the can in your hand. Let off the trigger read the gauge, repeat until you hit 30-ish psi. It will take you all of 5 minutes to do.
You can probably buy cans with dye in it if that is a concern.
