I test drove other BMW's with a stick shift and have had similar symptoms (it's just more pronounced on the X5)
Have you ever changed the transmission fluid? I have heard that switching to redline fluids help shift smoother, but the problem isn't annoying enough to me to shell out the coin to do the tranny flush..

Mine has this into first quirk, but not anything with other gears. I do the same thing - throw it into 2 first then back up to one. Sometimes it goes into 1 on the first time, sometimes not.
I changed my fluid 2k miles ago to RP MTF and it was better for a while, but it still does it on occasion. Personally, I am not too concerned.
