Late reply, but I finally got some work done on the X5 today. While I was at it I put some calipers on the front axle just inboard of the outer CV boot clamp and came up with 27 mm. The new outer boot I have waiting to be installed is just a hair under that (ID), and seems to be a harder, more plastic-ish rubber. They are OE BMW boots that I bought for the job.
Oddly there is only one part number on one of the two boxes, (31607565315) which RealOEM says is the inner repair kit. The other box contains the outer repair kit, but no PN. The one sticker also says GKN on it.
