Given Tirerack's great deal on them right now, and the fact that there seems to be no ambiguity in fitment for an E53 X5, I'm going to pass on the Bosch and likely just get the Valeo's.
421B fits much better on the passenger side. The 422B hangs off the edge of the windshield too far. 418A works perfectly on the rear.
