What year X5??

If you find the mirrors are out of position when you get into the vehicle, it maybe the memory modules that remember seat, mirror, wheel positions are going bad. My 2001 sometimes experiences this. Since these modules cost about $250.00, I live with just re-positioning the mirrors myself. There are 2 of these, one each for left & right sides and are underneath the front seats.

Just my guess on what you are experiencing.
