I would immagine that would be enough brake for just about anyone driving a X5. Here is a link for the Stop Techs. They also have a great reputation and are used on the Turner Motorsports BMW race cars, which have been very dominant over the past few years. I would have to say that a $7,000 brake package for an X5 would be overkill, but if you are really into the look of a big brake kit all the way around and don't mind spending the money then go for it.

It is less then 7Gs for sure. I have priced them out. Adding a BBK on a X5 is 90% show for sure. I have Brembos on my M3, and they look great, but are priceless at the track. So unless the X5 is seeing track duty, there will not be a huge diff in daily braking performance.
