There will always be newer and better features every year. It just depends how long you can hold out on a new X5. Frankly, if this Google Maps thing is not going to replace the NAVTEC disc completely, it's not a big deal. Soft-close is also not a big deal... though they're nice additions, they are not worth half-year waits to me. A new TT petrol engine, if true, is worth that wait but I bought mine in January so it would've still been almost a year wait and that was my biggest consideration then.
Oh, you know what else would be worth the wait? A better rear camera! (Thank you thank you, I'm here all week...)
