I drive a 2008 4.8i and I had the same problem.
So I guess there really is a problem with the parking brake of the 2008 X5. The towing company told me that my X was the 5th that he towed because of a parking brake malfunction. But when I spoke to the Service Advisor, he said that it was the first time that he encountered such problem and he doesn't know what causes it.
What sucks the most is, I just got my car last December. Pretty premature to have this problem of sorts. I love the X5 to bits, but I must say that a chunk of my confidence in this vehicle is gone.
