I can't find any direct list of SIB's that may have been done by the original owner (he had it 'til 2018). I'm the third, after my neighbor bought and restored it for me (as a swap for my drag car).
Is there another way to trace this, or do I need to purchase a VIN tracing report (Carfax or Vin-decoders, among others)?

You could go to a dealer and ask them. Tell them you just acquired the x5 and are wondering about open recalls or other campaigns and saw that disc. If they aren't complete tools, they should tell you what it's means.
