I’ve had LEDs fitted for years only had a problem with one rear door puddle light as above. To be fair I normally have to replace one of the number plate LEDs about once a year but put that down to closing/slamming the boot lid. Mine were just an e53 set bought of ebay. So they do work on X5, doubt if there’s anything special or different on mine
